BEST USE OF SOLAR – AGRIVOLTAICS

Posted on by

Did you know that the same land can be used to grow crops and produce solar energy at the same time? That’s the promise of agrivoltaics, a fast-emerging practice that combines agriculture with solar power. By installing solar panels for agriculture over farmland, agrivoltaics not only helps generate clean energy but also supports sustainable farming. As climate change pressures mount and the demand for renewable energy rises, this smart use of space through agrivoltaics farming is gaining attention across the globe. It offers a unique way to meet both food and energy needs without competing for land.

  • Maximizes land productivity Farmers can increase land-use efficiency by up to 186% by using agrivoltaics to generate renewable energy while carrying on with their agricultural operations. By reducing conflicts between farming and energy development, this dual use helps achieve solar capacity targets without compromising priceless farmland.
  • Improves crop resilience and yields Partial shade from solar panels keeps soil moisture levels stable, lowers water evaporation, and moderates temperature extremes. According to research from Arizona and Kenya, this microclimate promotes the growth of some crops, particularly in hot or arid areas, resulting in increase in yields and less need for irrigation.
  • Diversifies income for farmers. Farmers generate extra income by combining crop or livestock production with solar for agriculture. They can lower electricity costs, supply clean energy to farm operations, and occasionally resell excess power to the grid, boosting the stability of farm income. Solar for agriculture thus works on multiple levels of sustainability.
  • Enhances ecosystem services and biodiversity By preserving native vegetation and establishing habitats for pollinators like bees, agrivoltaics sites can enhance the health of ecosystems. By controlling stormwater runoff and reducing the need for herbicides, these green areas lessen their negative effects on the environment and maintenance expenses.
  • Provides grazing opportunities Sheep and chickens are examples of livestock that can graze beneath solar agriculture panels, naturally controlling vegetation while enjoying the shade and protection they provide. This promotes animal welfare and lowers maintenance.
  • Improves working conditions for farm laborers By providing shade, solar agriculture installations improve comfort and safety for farm workers spending extended periods of time outside by shielding them from intense heat and damaging UV rays.
  • Helps combat climate change Agrivoltaics in India helps achieve regional and national objectives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase climate resilience in agriculture by producing clean, renewable energy and lowering dependency on fossil fuels.
  • Reduces water consumption In regions that are prone to drought, the shade from agrivoltaics farming reduces the amount of water lost by transpiration and evaporation from plants and soil, thereby promoting more sustainable farming practices.     .

I am confident that agrivoltaics will be the way solar is used in the coming Jesus Millennial Kingdom. Is this something of interest to you and you want to be used by Jesus in His coming Millennial Kingdom then get involved now so you will be prepared. God will use the talents He has given you so make sure you develop them for use in His coming Millennial Kingdom.

ARE WIND FARMS, SOLAR, AND BATTERIES OUR BEST ENERGY OPTIONS?

“The Extinction Rebellion types who like gluing themselves to roads are right about one thing. It makes no logical sense to rail against coal and gas like Bowen does and yet export it to major ‘polluters’ like China and India. If you truly believe that CO2 will cause a climate catastrophe or global ‘boiling’ then why would you extract and export the stuff to be used by others, while investing $billions (perhaps $trillions) in solar panels and windmills imported from China in particular who has burnt our carbon to make the panels and windmills?

“And why would you cover thousands of square kilometres of our arable land and wildlife habitat with solar panels, windmills, and transmission corridors Doesn’t this mean we are actually paying China to pollute and destroy our wildlife and the planet? And if you don’t believe that the planet is going to boil then why spend all that money on Chinese imports when we could just burn the carbon ourselves in our own power stations? Doesn’t this seem mad? The logic of Labor is so conflicted that we are willing to impoverish ourselves for nothing. Indeed it is mad.”

“Bowen asserts that an SMR (small modular reactor) would cost $5 billion. Well, that means we could build at least 4 SMRs that would be hooked to the existing grid and generate at least 1GWh of electricity on 24/7 basis for 60-80 years! Bowen has not been keeping up with what Rolls Royce SMR is doing.

Rolls-Royce SMR will move away from the high cost and high-risk complex construction programme principles into predictable factory-built commodities. Approximately 90% of manufacturing and assembly activities are carried out in factory conditions, helping to maintain an extremely high-quality product – reducing on-site disruption and supporting international roll out.

“An equivalent solar farm would need to have a theoretical output of 3+GW and would need replacing at least 4 times in addition to the $20+billion for rewiring. These are your figures – nuclear is a bargain.”

SMALL MODULAR NUCLEAR REACTORS ARE THE WAY TO GO FOR AUSTRALIA AND THE REST OF THE WORLD. If that is the case then I suggest you look at investing in the two companies that look set to dominate this market. BWX Technologies and Rolls-Royce SMR Ltd. Westinghouse is also developing the “eVinci” Small Micro Reactor so it may be worth your while following its progress.

Whilst my calling is to alert the world to what God has next for this world – Jesus Millennial Kingdom, I could not resist bringing this opportunity to the followers of http://www.livingeternal.net. God has given me a talent for business and I am sure that Jesus will use me in business during His Millennial reign in some capacity. What about you, have you ever thought about how Jesus may use you during His Millennial reign on this earth? Remember, the curse has not been lifted, people are still born and die and Jesus and the Saints need to rule with a rod of iron. Remember, also that Satan is bound for most of the thousand years but when he is released he is still able to raise an army, their number like the sand of the sea, to come against Jesus and the Saints.

What is next on God’s agenda is not the new heaven and the new earth where only the righteous dwell.
