Modeling crop yields for different agrophotovoltaic shading scenarios

Abstract

The main objective of the thesis work is to determine the optimal agriphotovoltaic configuration and structure for growing crops in Italian climatic areas with different irradiance conditions. This will be achieved by simulating, using DSSAT crop modeling software, the different shading scenarios to study their effects on the final yield of different types of crops, focusing in particular on those most widespread on an industrial scale, such as potatoes.
