Agri-Photovoltaics for Rural Areas in Viet Nam (APV). Viet Nam’s agricultural sector faces challenges from climate change, the significant depletion of resources such as fertile soil, and growing demand for high-quality agricultural products that are both environmentally and climate friendly. Meanwhile, demand for energy in Viet Nam is increasing. The country has therefore set itself the target of generating around 39 per cent of its electricity from renewable energy sources by 2030. However, energy and food production are increasingly competing for land, and innovative solutions are needed to facilitate the transition. Agrivoltaics is one such solution: it combines agricultural production and solar panels on agricultural land. However, this approach has not yet been widely adopted in agricultural practice in Viet Nam. Objective The planning and technical groundwork has been laid for the development of agrivoltaics on agricultural land in Viet Nam in a way that promotes gender equality and generates additional income. |
