Abstract
Given that one day fossil fuels will end, a need arises to find alternative fuels. Renewable energy is considered an alternative to fossil fuels and nowadays it attracts much attention. Among renewable energy sources, solar is the most important because it is available in all parts of the world. Also, this fuel source is utilized in different businesses including agribusiness and it tends to be utilized in developing yields in the farthest corners of the world. Furthermore, this fuel doesn't cause contamination, similar to the next non -renewable energy sources. Utilizing the sunlight based energy can be dynamic in all rural regions. That will assist meet the expanding need for agrarian items with the expanding populace. Notwithstanding, it is realized that the farming area has a fixed region and, once in a while, agrarian items can't be developed. A grivoltaic (agribusiness photovoltaic)or sun oriented sharing has acquired developing acknowledgment as a promising methods for incorporating farming and sun powe red energy gathering. Albeit this field offers extraordinary potential, information on the effect on crop development and improvement are lacking. Thusly, this examination analyzes the effect of horticulture photovoltaic cultivating on crops utilizing ener gy data and interchanges innovation (ICT). The investigated crops were grapes, cutivated land was dividedin to six sections, A 1300 × 520 mm photovoltaic module was installed on a screen that was designed with as hading rate of 30%.In addition, to collect farming -cultivation -environment data and to analyze power generation, sensors for growing environments and wireless - communication devices were used. As a result, normal modules generated 25.2 MWh, bifacial modules generated 21.6 MWh, and transparent modules generated 25.7 MWh over a five -month period. We could not find However, as light slowing of grape growth was found in the experiment group compared to the control group. Nevertheless, the sugar content of the test area of the grape fruit in the harvest s eason was 17.6 Brix on average, and the sugar content of the control area was measured at 17.2 Brix. Grape sugar -content level was shown to be at almost the same level as that in the control group by delaying the harvest time byabout 10 days Innovative Journal for Opportunities and Development in Science & Tec hnology, Volume 1, Issue 9 , May 2021 Paper ID: – IJ2021V1I9 [13A -B], ISSN 2582 -6026
