An international team is investigating agriPV applications to help rural parts of West Africa increase productivity by tripling land use. Countries can take dual land-use ideas a step further in Mali and The Gambia, for example, by growing food, producing solar power, and harvesting rainwater with solar modules and their installed structures, according to Fraunhofer ISE’s Jessica Berneiser and Brendon Bingwa.
