Agrivoltaics (also called agrophotovoltaics, agrisolar, or dual-use solar) is the dual use of land for solar energy and agriculture.

Many agricultural activities can be combined with solar, including crops, livestock, greenhouses, and wild plants to support pollinators. Agrivoltaic systems can include solar panels between crops, elevated above crops, or on greenhouses.

Solar panels help plants to retain moisture and lower temperatures and can provide shelter for livestock. Dual use can diversify farmers' income.

Solar panels block light, which means that dual use systems involve trade-offs between crop yield, crop quality, and energy production. Some crops/livestock benefit from the increased shade, obviating the trade-off, such as green leafy vegetables, spices such as turmeric and ginger, whereas staple crops such as wheat, rice, soybeans or pulses require more sun.

The concept relies on the fact that some crops benefit from reduced sunlight. The light saturation point is the maximum amount of photons absorbable by a plant: more photons do not increase the rate of photosynthesis (see also photorespiration).

The technique was conceived by Adolf Goetzberger and Armin Zastrow in 1981.

In Europe and Asia, where the concept was pioneered, the term agrivoltaics is applied to dedicated dual-use technology, generally a system of mounts or cables to raise the solar array some five metres above the ground in order to allow access by farm machinery, or solar paneling on the roofs of greenhouses.

The concept was called "agrophotovoltaics" in a German report, and a term translating as "solar sharing" has been used in Japanese.
