What year?
Choose what year to use historical data from in the calculation.
(Only 2023 available in demo version)
Agri-OptiCE® uses data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), including ERA5 reanalysis data. Data is either generated using C3S or contains modified information from it. Neither the European Commission nor ECMWF is responsible for any use that may be made of the Copernicus information or data it contains.
Copernicus Climate Change Service (2025): ERA5 hourly time-series data on single levels from 1940 to present. Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) Climate Data Store (CDS). Available from the CDS dataset catalogue.
What is your Albedo?
Albedo is the reflection from ground and crops to PV modules.
(Only fixed albedo values are available in demo version)
Example values:
Grass: 0.15 - 0.25 | Fresh snow: 0.82 | Bare soil: 0.05 - 0.17 | Winter cereals: 0.05 - 0.32
What system type?
Choose fixed or dynamic system type.
(In the free version of Agri-OptiCE®, users can only select fixed agrivoltaic system.)
System Type: Fixed
Agri-OptiCE® simulates a representative section of your agrivoltaic project. To account for inter-row shading effects, please select multiple rows. In this version, simulations are limited to a maximum of 6 rows with a row length of up to 50 m.
Enter the values needed.
System Type: Dynamic
Agri-OptiCE® simulates a representative section of your agrivoltaic project. To account for inter-row shading effects, please select multiple rows. In this version, simulations are limited to a maximum of 6 rows with a row length of up to 50 m.
Enter the values needed.
PV System and Inverter
The default values on this page refer to the following PV module: JA Solar JAM72D40-600/MB.
Enter the values needed.
The energy conversion efficiency of the PV module at Standard Test Conditions.
μVoc refers to the temperature coefficient of open-circuit voltage.
Vmp is the voltage at maximum power point of the single PV module.
NOCT refers to the Nominal Operating Cell Temperature.
PV module area is the area of the single PV module.
Maximum output power a PV module delivers at Standard Test Conditions.
Bifaciality factor quantifies the relative efficiency of the rear side of a bifacial PV module compared to its front side, under Standard Test Conditions. The bifaciality factor should be a number between 0-1.
Power conversion efficiency of the inverter
What is your Crop?
(In the free version of Agri-OptiCE®, users can only select Alfalfa as crop.)
Planting date is the day of the year at which the crop is sown.
- the days from 1 November to 31 December (61 days), and
- the days from 1 January to 1 June (151 days).
Growing season is the number of days between sown and harvest.
What is your Soil type?
(In the free version of Agri-OptiCE®, users can only select Sand as soil.)
