영농형 태양광발전은 태양의 일사량을 전기발전과 영농에 공유하는(solar-sharing) 방식이다. 본 연구는 신재생에너지의 활용의 극대화를 위하여 추적식 영농형 태양광발전시스템을 구축하고 시설하부에서 일정 기간 재배중인 작물의 하부 환경과 생육을 조사하여 영농형태양광 하부작물개발을 위한 기초자료를 확보하고자 하였다. 구축한 추적식 영농형 태양광발전시스템은 4열 6단의 24장 모듈(8m × 6m)을 가지며, 발전시설 중심축 기둥 간 중심간격 14m로 단일지주식 스크루 공법으로 순천대학교 부속농장 답작포(순천시 죽평리)에 설치하여 하부 환경과 하부작물의 생육을 조사하였다. 태양광발전시설 하부작물의 생육을 조사하기 위하여 순천 농협육묘장에서 벼(신동진)를 육묘하여 2022년 6월 16일 이앙하였다. 태양광발전시스템 하부 지역을 4방위 방향에 따라 강음영(중심축으로부터 1~3m), 중음영(5m), 약음영(7~9m) 구역으로 설정하여 생육을 조사한 결과, 방위에 따른 초장은 남쪽에서 음영간 차이가 상대적으로 낮게 나타났으며, 1번기 태양광 발전시설에 의하여 음영이 중첩된 2번기 시설의 동쪽에서 대조구 대비 초장이 상대적으로 낮은 경향을 나타내었다. 음영강도에 따른 초장은 대체로 강음영구에서 낮게 나타났으며, 약음영구로 갈수록 높게 나타났다. 엽수는 방위에 따라서, 그리고 음영의 강도에 따른 차이가 초장에 비하여 작게 나타났다. 출수기의 경우 방위별로는 남쪽에서 음영별 차이가 작게 나타났으며, 음영강도에 따라서 차이를 보였다. 또한 태양광시설 하부에 데이터수집장치(Model 1650, Spctrum Technonogies, USA)를 설치하여 음영에 따른 토양전도도, 토양함수량, 토양온도, par light 등 생육환경을 조사, 비교하였다.

Agrivoltaic systems, also called solar sharing, stated from an idea that utilizes sunlight above the light saturation point of crops for power generation using solar panels. The agrivoltaic systems are expected to reduce the incident solar radiation, the consequent surface cooling effect, and evapotranspiration, and bring additional income to farms through solar power generation by combining crops with solar photovoltaics. In this study, to evaluate if agrivoltaic systems are suitable for viticulture, we investigated the microclimatic change, the growth of vines and the characteristics of grape grown under solar panels set by planting lines compared with ones in open vineyards. There was high reduction of wind speed during over-wintering season, and low soil temperature under solar panel compared to those in the open field. There was not significant difference in total carbohydrates and bud burst in bearing mother branches between plots. Despite high content of chlorophyll in vines grown under panels, there is no significant difference in shoot growth of vines, berry weight, cluster weight, total soluble solid content and acidity of berries, and anthocyanin content of berry skins in harvested grapes in vineyards under panels and open vineyards. It was observed that harvesting season was delayed by 7-10 days due to late skin coloration in grapes grown in vineyards under panels compared to ones grown in open vineyards. The results from this study would be used as data required in development of viticulture system under panel in the future and further study for evaluating the influence of agrivoltaic system on production of crops including grapes.

본 연구는 영농형 태양광 발전시스템 적용을 위한 하부작물의 재배효율을 검토하기 위하여 중산간지역 재배지(전라남도 순천시 승주읍 월계리 소재)에 설치한 추적식 영농형 태양광 발전시설 하부에 주식량자원식물인 벼품종 새일미를 2018년 6월 16일 이앙하여 생육을 조사하였다. 2018년 7월 24일 기준, 초장(plant height)은 태양광 시설 하에서 대조구보다 길게 나타났고, 태양광발전시설 중심축에 가까울수록 웃자람(도장)을 보였다. 엽수는 음영지역에서 대조구에 비해 잎의 전개가 늦게 나타났으며, 수확기에 조사한 간장(culm length)은 음영이 강한 지역에서는 대조구에 비해 작게 나타났으나 음영이 약한 지역으로 갈수록 간장이 증가하여 대조구와 비슷하거나 약간 크게 나타났다. 수장(panicle length)은 대조구 대비 처리구와 큰 차이가 없었으며, 태양광발전시설 중심축의 남쪽인 경우 강한 음영지역에서 약한 음영지역으로 갈수록 길게 나타났다. 동년 8월24일 기준 처리구 동쪽의 출수(heading)율은 강한 음영지역(중심축으로부터 1~3m 떨어진 구간)에서 가장 낮았고, 중심축으로부터 멀어질수록 높게 나타났다. 이와 같이 태양광발전시설 설치구역에서는 음영이 강할수록 생장이 미흡하여 유효분얼수가 감소하고, 출수가 지연되었다. 이에 따라서 음영이 강한 구역일수록 수량구성 4요소 중에 등숙율을 제외한 단당이삭수, 수당평균영화수, 천립중이 감소하였다. 태양광발전시설 중심축으로부터 멀어질수록 음영강도가 약해져서 수량감소가 낮아졌으며, 또한 동서남북 방향에 따라 그 감소율이 다르게 나타났다.

This study analyzes the economic feasibility of agrivoltaics in South Korea. The key findings are as follows. It was ascertained that an amendment to the Farmland Act, which currently has an 8-year permit period, is necessary to ensure the economic feasibility of agrivoltaic projects. Furthermore, economic feasibility improves when agrivoltaic projects are financed, as against cases without financing. Furthermore, the availability of low-interest loans through financial support programs significantly enhances economic feasibility. Scaling up projects leads to cost savings due to economies of scale, while community-based agrivoltaic initiatives generate higher revenue through the acquisition of additional Renewable Energy Certificates. These factors can help improve the economic feasibility of agrivoltaic projects. These incentives are emphasized as they can serve as a source of funding to foster community acceptance of agrivoltaic projects.

Recently, there has been increasing interest in renewable energy in the agricultural sector. Agrophotovoltaics, producing electricity while farming, has attracted much attention. This study aims to identify the factors influencing the acceptance intention of Agrophotovoltaics. Using the UTAUT2 model, we designed a research model to examine the impact of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, social influence, and investment utility on the intention to adopt Agrophotovoltaics through the mediation effect of the user's innovativeness. We conducted a survey on farmers and obtained 212 responses for the final analysis. The results showed that effort expectancy and innovativeness significantly positively affected the intention to adopt Agrophotovoltaics. Furthermore, innovativeness was found to fully mediate the relationship among performance expectancy, facilitating conditions, investment utility, and acceptance intention. This suggests that focusing supportive measures on innovative groups could promote the adoption of Agrophotovoltaics.

The agrivoltaic can produce electricity and grow crops on fields at the same time. It is necessary to analyze the cultivation environment and evaluate the crop productivity under agrivoltaic because the shading point changes according to structure of agrivoltaic and sun's position. Two types of "fixing" and "tracing" agrivoltaic were installed, and a rice cultivation experiment was conducted in the fields under each agrivoltaic and without shading (control). "Hyunpoombyeo" was transplanted on June 7, 2019, and grown with fertilization of 9.0-4.5-5.7 kg/10a (N-P-K). Fifteen weather stations were installed under each agrivoltaic to measure solar radiation and temperature, and yield and yield-related elements were investigated by points. The accumulated solar radiation during the rice growing season in fixing was no much difference between points, and that in tracing was much difference between points. However, the average solar radiations of two agrivoltaics were similar. The mean temperature, yield, and yield-related elements showed a significant difference for the shading rate, and decreased with increasing the shading rate except ripening grain rate and 1000 grain weight of fixing agrivoltaic. In the relationship between shading rate and yield, fixing and tracing were fitted to a logistic equation and a simple linear equation, respectively, and showed a high correlation (tracing: R2 = 0.62, fixing: R2 = 0.73). The shading rate variation by point for two types was large despite similar yield variation. Thus, it needs to be more closely examined the relationship of the shading rate for a specific period rather than the shading rate during the whole growing season.
