Agrivoltaics raises the solar array high enough that farming carries on underneath. The land earns twice – once from the harvest, once from the power – and in Kerala, where land is scarce and expensive, that second income arrives without giving up the first.
Most crops stop converting light into growth well below full midday sun. Panels take the surplus and leave enough for the canopy underneath. The shade also cuts soil evaporation, so irrigation demand usually falls – and the crop keeps the panels cooler, which lifts their output.
Agrivoltaics suits some crops far better than others. Shade-tolerant and partial-shade crops do well. Full-sun crops do not. We assess what you grow before we propose anything, and we will say so if your land is better suited to a conventional ground-mounted array.

They should not, provided the crop is matched to the design. Panels are spaced and raised so enough light reaches the canopy, and the partial shade reduces soil evaporation. The assessment we do before quoting is exactly this question.
Shade-tolerant and partial-shade crops do best. Full-sun crops are usually a poor fit. We assess what you grow and tell you honestly whether your land suits agrivoltaics or a conventional ground-mounted array.
High enough for the work that happens underneath. The clearance is set by what has to pass beneath - people, livestock, or machinery - and we fix it during design, not after.
Yes, where the design allows for it. Tell us the machinery you use and its height before design starts, and the structure is built around it.
