This technical session explores advanced dual-use solar applications maximizing resource efficiency. Learn how agrivoltaics reduces water usage while preventing crop heat stress through optimized shading, and how floating PV systems achieve higher efficiency via water cooling while reducing
evaporation. Examine critical design parameters: 3-4m panel heights for machinery access, PAR modeling for crop selection, HDPE anchoring systems for varying water levels, and weather-resistant float designs. Understand economic models showing higher land equivalent ratiosfor agrivoltaics and FPV installation premiums of offset by superior LCOE. Essential for developers,
engineers, and investors evaluating dual-use solar in land and water-constrained regions.
