On February 18, the Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued the 2024 Zhejiang Province Expansion Effective Investment Policy Document clearly proposing that more than 8 million kilowatts of wind and solar power will be added in 2024, and that wind power in the provincial sea area will be "opened as much as possible" in a competitive allocation manner, and the demonstration and pilot efforts of deep-sea wind power will be increased, and various "photovoltaic +" actions will be implemented. In recent years, many policies like this have been introduced to encourage and support the development of photovoltaic agriculture. For example, provide tax incentives, capital subsidies and other policy measures to reduce the investment cost of photovoltaic agriculture and increase the return rate of the project. At the same time, it has also strengthened the publicity and promotion of photovoltaic agriculture, and improved the public's awareness and acceptance of photovoltaic agriculture. The implementation of these policies has injected a strong impetus into the development of photovoltaic agriculture.
With the global pursuit of green and sustainable development, the integration of photovoltaic and agriculture has become an irreversible trend. Today, let's take a look at the new model of "photovoltaic + agriculture", one represents the future of green transformation and development, and the other represents the foundation of the national economy and people's livelihood. 1. Photovoltaic agricultural greenhouse: a win-win situation for green energy and efficient agriculture
Photovoltaic agricultural greenhouses, in which photovoltaic panels are installed on the roof of greenhouses, not only provide clean energy, but also promote crop growth by regulating light and temperature. This model achieves the perfect combination of green energy and efficient agriculture. The presence of photovoltaic panels provides strong support for the light and temperature control in agricultural greenhouses. Photovoltaic panels can effectively block some of the strong sunlight and prevent crops from being damaged by excessive sunlight. At the same time, the shaded area under the photovoltaic panels provides a cool growing environment for crops, reducing the negative impact of high temperatures on crop growth. In the photovoltaic + agricultural greenhouse model, water-saving irrigation technology has also been widely used. By precisely controlling the amount and frequency of irrigation, water waste is reduced and water use efficiency is improved. In addition, the shaded area under the photovoltaic panels also helps to improve the soil environment, promote the activity of soil microorganisms, and improve soil fertility.
2. Fishery and photovoltaic complementation: fishery and photovoltaic are in harmony and symbiosis
Fishery and photovoltaic complementation, that is, the installation of photovoltaic panels above the aquaculture water surface to achieve the harmonious symbiosis of fishery and photovoltaics. This transboundary integration not only improves the efficiency of land and water resources, but also brings clean energy support to fisheries production. Photovoltaic panels capture sunlight to generate electricity, providing a stable, clean source of energy for fishery production**. At the same time, the shaded area underneath the photovoltaic panels provides an ideal environment for fish to grow and promote efficient farming.

Photovoltaic pastures install photovoltaic panels on top of the farm or pasture to provide shade for livestock, improve land use efficiency, and also produce clean energy. This model helps to improve the pasture environment and increase the level of sustainable development of animal husbandry. Photovoltaic ranches reduce operating costs, improve the economic benefits of animal husbandry, and at the same time provide clean energy for the society to achieve a win-win situation.

By installing photovoltaic panels on the forest land or tree canopy, photovoltaic forestry not only does not occupy valuable arable land resources, but also promotes the growth of trees while providing clean energy. Photovoltaic panels provide the right shade for the trees, reduce water evaporation, and increase the survival rate and growth rate of the trees. Photovoltaic forestry not only has significant environmental benefits, but also makes a positive contribution to the fight against climate change by reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality. At the same time, it has also brought new growth points to the local economy, providing farmers with a diversified income**.
5. Water surface photovoltaic: use water resources to expand energy development space
Water surface photovoltaics use water resources such as lakes and reservoirs to install photovoltaic panels for power generation. This model not only does not occupy terrestrial resources, but also improves the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic panels through the cooling effect of water.
6. Photovoltaic irrigation: the combination of clean energy and water-saving agriculture
The photovoltaic irrigation system uses the electricity generated by photovoltaic panels to drive water pumps for irrigation, realizing the combination of clean energy and water-saving agriculture. This model helps to reduce the use of fossil fuels and reduce carbon emissions while improving irrigation efficiency.
Photovoltaic + agriculture is the beginning of a green revolution and a journey of exploration of infinite possibilities, promoting the development of photovoltaic agriculture and contributing wisdom and strength to the sustainable development of the earth's homeland!
