What backs it

An Austrian agrivoltaics specialist recorded a 14% increase in winter wheat yield at its Sonnenfeld research site in Bruck an der Leitha compared with a control area without PV modules, with the improvement attributed partly to shading and microclimate changes beneath tracking PV arrays.

Worth noting

The result comes from one research site during a drought year; broader outcomes across regions and growing conditions may differ.
