Floating PV + Smart Aquaculture Integration
PV structures (2m–3.1m height) allow continuous farming activities directly underneath, while inter-module spacing (0–60 cm) ensures precise photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) for shade-tolerant crops.
Utilizing the space beneath the PV canopy creates a cooler microclimate with optimal temperatures and significantly reduces soil water evaporation.
Smart Agriculture Technology Pillars
Empirical agricultural technologies tested at REIDI Living Lab ITS Sukolilo Campus.
Smart & Precision Farming
Custom concrete planter bed designs (3.5 m x 1.6 m) fully isolated from local soil to prevent contamination and maintain precise soil nutrient formulations.
Smart Irrigation System
An integrated drip irrigation system automatically controlled to maximize water usage efficiency under the PV canopy.
Crop Monitoring & Yield Analytics
Real-time telemetry tracking of PAR microclimate conditions, soil moisture levels, ambient temperature, and yield data analytics for shade-tolerant crops.
REIDI Tested Crop Showcase
Crops tested and confirmed to thrive under PV module shading include:
Chili
Thrives under PV canopy microclimate with stable soil moisture retention
Spinach
Leafy green crop showing high productivity under reduced PAR solar radiation.
Paprika
High fruit quality achieved in isolated concrete planter beds with drip irrigation.
Paddy
Rice variety tested for evaporation efficiency under elevated agrivoltaic structures.
Honeydew
High-value horticulture crop cultivated with controlled water and nutrient delivery.
Green Vegetables
Various green horticulture varieties benefiting from cooler under-canopy microclimates.
