AGRIVOLTAICS AND INDIA Introduction : Availability of land is becoming an issue in view of growing urbanization and construction activity. Here’s were the Agrivoltaics or Agro photovoltaics (APV) system of practice comes into action to help us to build the new clean and green phase of cultivation. Let’s see about the APV System in detailed form in the following article. What is Agrivoltaics ?
