In recent years, with the popularization of environmental protection concepts and the continuous development of new energy technologies, agrivoltaics has attracted increasing attention and become an important direction of new agricultural development as a new type of agricultural planting method and new energy utilization method. This article classifies ground-based agrivoltaic schemes into three categories according to different management and distributions of solar radiation: intensity management, spectrum management, and time management. The article also details the performance of high-quality schemes proposed by our research team for these three categories. In addition, the article proposes four evaluation indicators for agrivoltaic schemes: land equivalent ratio (LER), return on investment (ROI), water-saving performance, and crop-friendliness, and calculates the performance of different schemes proposed by our research team based on these indicators. Finally, we recommend using these four dimensions to evaluate the performance of agrivoltaic schemes.
