Scientists have grown strawberries under thin film Cadmium Telluride panels with different transparency. They discovered that 40% transparency maintained a yield of more than 80% of uncovered plants. If all the strawberry farms in the world were converted into Agrivoltaics, they would produce until 173 TWH per year. February 25, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from the Western University of Canada have tested the growth of Delizz -with PV panels with different levels of transparency. They built a replica of the outside conditions of London, Ontario, and then measured the fresh weight of the strawberries, plant height, leaf count and flower…
