Researchers from Germany's Technology and Support Centre (TFZ) have made a comparison between the upfront costs of several types of agrivoltaic power plants and conventional ground-mounted projects.

In total, 138 APV studies were reviewed in five typical agricultural scenarios, including open-field farming, greenhouse, aquaculture, livestock farming, and forestry, and 34 articles summarized
The partial shade of solar panels reduces the amount of direct sunlight reaching crops, changing the microclimate (cooler in the day, warmer at night) and increasing soil moisture levels. There
The Kohirā Agricultural Complementary Photovoltaic Park is located near Kaitāia in northern New Zealand, covering an area of approximately 64 hectares. The project has a capacity of
Solar energy systems are a suitable option to replace fossil fuels [5, 6].The costs of Photovoltaic (PV) panel systems have continuously decreased, leading to a rapid rise in the
The rate of solar power generation is increasing globally at a significant increase in the net electricity demand, leading to competition for agricultural lands and forest invasion.

For agrivoltaic systems installed at a high distance from the ground, which is necessary to let the agricultural machinery operate under the solar panels, the costs are even higher compared to conventional solar plants. The scientists estimated a total cost of € 400/kW for the entire plant construction including the foundations.
Increasing the overall yield of land is therefore the basis of the coupling between photovoltaic and agriculture and even has a specific index, the LER (Land Equivalent Ratio) which makes it possible to measure whether the combined value of agricultural yield and solar energy is equal to or greater than it would be with the singular land use.
Agrivoltaic systems must water the plants on a daily basis. Material corrosion should be monitored since moisture under the solar panel may affect the plant structure. Appropriate agrivoltaic policies should be implemented to reduce competition for agricultural lands and forest invasion and to also support local people.
The authors of the paper specified that the substantial difference in costs between agrivoltaics and ground-mounted solar results from higher tracker system costs. Agrivoltaic projects also face more system design constraints as they have to deal with subsoil conditions and are strictly dependent on the chosen type of agricultural use.
Vertically erected agrivoltaic projects are usually built with bifacial panels with a high degree of bifaciality and a west-east orientation. The additional costs of these panels, however, do not justify the disproportionately higher costs, the authors of the report stated.
As a result, this panel type is a possible candidate for co-production. Planting corn under PV panels with 40 % spacing produced 5.6 % higher yields per square meter than regular lands. The agrivoltaic system influenced interested locals positively. Energy and food security, in particular, were provided.
