Farmland occupation tax is imposed on all state-owned or collectively owned crop-growing land, and shall apply to those who occupy garden land, forest land, grassland, land for irrigation and water conservancy, water surface for cultivation, beaches for fishery waters and other construction buildings on agricultural land or engage in
Surprisingly, integrating solar panels with farming has significantly boosted crop yields. Studies reveal that agrovoltaic systems increase yields by 20% to 60%, depending on the crop type. For instance, forage crops grown between solar panel rows have shown a 40% increase in yield, while peppers have demonstrated an impressive 60% boost. . The panels
It was tried to cool a photovoltaic panel using a combination of fins on the back and water on the top. With a multi-cooling strategy, the reacher believe that the solar module temperature can be maintained below 20 °C, and the electrical efficiency can be raised by 3% [13] reality, the PCM layer is responsible for maintaining a temperature that is optimal for

The rapid expansion of photovoltaic (PV) power stations in recent years has been primarily driven by international renewable energy policies. Projections indicate that global PV installations have covered an area of 92000 km 2, equivalent to the entire land area of Portugal (Zhang et al., 2023b, Zhang et al., 2023c).Based on current growth rates, China''s

As the world''s largest carbon emitter, China has pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. An essential pathway to the carbon neutrality goal is to promote the replacement of coal-fired power generation with low or zero-carbon energy sources [1], [2].Solar power, especially solar photovoltaic (PV), will be one of the main energy sources in the future

Photovoltaic agriculture can effectively alleviate the contradiction between more population and less land, powerfully promote the development of controlled environmental agriculture, evidently increase economic benefits of farmers, and significantly improve environment due to emissions reduction in China.

Solar farms: Tax considerations for landowners. 11th March 2022 . In this article, Nicola Holdover relief is particularly important on gifts of farmland as it avoids a tax charge arising on a gift where there are no sale proceeds to fund the tax. These exemptions and reliefs will generally cease to apply to the land used for a solar farm, as the land will no longer

For agricultural property relief, for example, the farmer needs to be in occupation of the land for the purposes of agriculture. Certainly having sheep graze fields under solar panels will help that argument. The farmer will also have to consider the VAT aspects.

Farming is defined, for income tax, as ''the occupation of land for the purposes of husbandry'' (s996 Income Tax Act 2007). This definition is generally used for the purposes of other taxes such as CGT and IHT. However, if the farmer owns the PV array, and generates and sells the electricity, it is suggested that he is carrying on the trade
The solar PV arrays do present particular problems. Obviously, ‘solar farming’ is not farming as understood by the tax system. Farming is defined, for income tax, as ‘the occupation of land for the purposes of husbandry’ (s996 Income Tax Act 2007). This definition is generally used for the purposes of other taxes such as CGT and IHT.

Landowner income may be significantly higher from solar farm income compared to agricultural rental income. Moreover, the transition of farmland to commercial property increases tax revenue for the county. Some increase in jobs is likely during construction and may remain for maintenance, depending upon contractual agreements.
Clearly, this is a case where the farmer will not be carrying on the trade of generating and selling electricity. However, that may not be the end of the story. Depending on the design and layout of the solar panels, it may still be possible for the land to be farmed.
A site which becomes a solar farm ceases to be used for the purposes of that trade and this has potential tax implications. Farmers may want to continue with grazing the site if that is possible but, even if grazing continues, the site will only be partly used for the farming trade and therefore the tax issues cannot be entirely avoided.
