This study, based on the publications and prior researches relating to Solar PV system as well as the case studies on Agro-photovoltaic system, proposes an optimal method to install Grid-tied Agro-PV system in Korea.
International community has been committed to developing and expanding new and renewable energy in line with the shift of energy paradigm—backed by the Paris Climate Agreement which induces a reduction of green house gas.
In Korea, Agro-PV system, which enables a mutual growth of agriculture and Solar PV, has become more prospective, considering the issues such as damaging forest to secure more lands for Solar PV installation, speculative investment in real estates and conflicts in agricultural industry arisen from KOR-US FTA as well as a potential of Solar PV system thanks to the government’s renewable energy initiatives.
Agro-PV system is currently at a stage of substantiation. It has shown a potential of winning in the global market by owning a technology for module arrangement and structure designing that minimize a reduction in rice yield while benefiting from power generation business, which can play a huge role in increasing a farmer’s income and expanding Solar PV system.
I’d like this study to help provide farmers with Grid-tied Agro-PV system to which one-stop service through big data is applied for an optimal operation. In addition, it is believed that business model co-developed by a public corporation and a generation company will secure both publicness and profitability.
