Utility-scale solar systems occupy a large amount of land space and it is estimated that there is going to be a gradual rise in the production of solar panels soon due to the high Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) goals put forward by states in the United States. We are already witnessing the rapid conversion of agricultural land into ground-mounted utility-scale solar parks. Therefore, we must transition to agrivoltaics in order to avoid conflict in land space in the future. Agrivoltataics not only adds value to the land but also leads to dual use of land. Our research focuses on the transition to agrivoltaics from a systems-level perspective. Till date, there is not much literature about the transitions to agrivoltaics, our study fills in that gap by providing a new interdisciplinary framework that promotes transition to agrivoltaics from a business, technology, economic, policy and, social perspective. There are a lot of complexities involved in the transition process and our research addresses those complexities from a multidimensional perspective. We have not only created a new framework from established theories but also tested the framework in the context of agrivoltaic transitions. Due to the inter-disciplinary nature of our framework, our systems-level approach could be a beneficial decision-making tool to a diverse number of stakeholders such as innovators, entrepreneurs, farmers, electricity generators, engineers, and policymakers. In addition, it will add value to the literature of agrivoltaics, agribusiness, energy economics, and management as well as efficient policy making.
