Background:
As an emerging economy, India's electricity demand is increasing rapidly. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the Indian government has set an ambitious target of 500 GW of installed non-fossil fuel-based capacity by 2030, with around 300 GW coming from solar energy alone. Agrivoltaics, the simultaneous use of arable land for agriculture and electricity generation through solar photovoltaics (PV), can play a key role in reaching this target. This approach offers the potential to mobilise additional land for the expansion of solar-based power generation while ensuring food security and avoiding potential land conflicts. Through the expansion of agrivoltaics in India, farmers and rural communities will be empowered to play an active role in India’s energy transition and benefit through new employment opportunities, increased and more diversified incomes. Their resilience to climate impacts is enhanced through crop protection, and improved microclimate and water regulation. The main identified barriers to the uptake of agrivoltaics in India so far are the lack of scientific data on India-specific contexts, awareness, capacities, suitable business models and financing instruments as well as clear legal and policy frameworks.
The objective of this assignment is to support the Centre of Excellence (CoE) on AgriPV for advancing research, innovation, technical excellence, and institutional capacity to accelerate the sustainable adoption of AgriPV in India.
