As agrivoltaics research and deployment expands globally, researchers are facing similar challenges, issues, and barriers. Some challenges include inconsistent definitions of terms, lack of standardized research protocols, ad hoc data sharing, and a lack of a shared research space that can support both established and emerging agrivoltaics researchers. The International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (PVPS) has created an Agrivoltaics Action Group to begin to address these challenges. Throughout 2024 and 2025, the Agrivoltaics Action Group has held workshops on three continents, with participants from over 50 countries. Workshops have led to a core set of four priorities for the Agrivoltaics Action Group to pursue: 1) Standardized terms and definitions for agrivoltaics concepts and research; 2) Standardized research protocols for agrivoltaics field research; 3) Map and database of agrivoltaic normative frameworks, research, and researchers; and 4) Database of existing agrivoltaic models. These initial priorities will be built upon in future years for this international collaborative effort, which will continue to expand alongside the growth of agrivoltaics research.
