Abstract
Solar photovoltaics (PV) is a popular method of green energy-based electricity generation for regions with rich solar radiation. In this paper, we introduce a conceptual framework where PV can be used for multi-purposes: electricity generation and frost prevention, specifically for frost prevention of apricot orchards. After introduction of the conceptual framework, the system modelling, optimization, and control/automation research challenges for such a multi-purpose use are summarized. This paper targets at opening a new application area and the associated research rooms for PV systems.
