A study conducted in Kajiado, Kenya, has found that cultivating crops under solar panels can increase their size and health, and potentially double the production of the land. The experiment, which involved growing cabbages, eggplants, lettuce, and corn under 180 345 Watt solar panels, showed that the crops were a third larger and healthier than those in control plots. The research, led by the University of Sheffield and World Agroforestry, also highlighted the benefits of agrovoltaic systems in improving food and water security, enhancing climate resilience, and providing low-carbon electricity. The trial is part of the Harvesting the Sun Twice project, which aims to explore the potential of agrovoltaic systems in East Africa.

The British newspaper The Guardian published a research resulting from a year-long collaboration between the University of Sheffield, World Agroforestry and the Latia Agripreneurship Institute based in Kajiado. A study with promising results for agricultural development in the semi-arid county of Kajiado, a 90-minute drive from Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. Cultivating the power of shadow under the panels Solar panels are nothing new on the African continent, where there is rarely a shortage of sun. Instead, under-panel cultivation is, an experiment with such promising evidence in Kenya that it will be spread to open-field farms. With ...
