What the engine tests

PV8 separates the agricultural system from the PV system, then tests whether their land, access, shade, water and operating calendars can coexist.

  • Crop or greenhouse area and operating plan.
  • Machinery clearances, rows, turning and access.
  • Water source, storage, pumping and seasonal demand.
  • Shade, farmable area and applicable national rules.
  • PV and agricultural economics shown separately before combination.
