      <abstract><p>Agriculture Photovoltaic (APV) is a relatively young discipline; the concept was first proposed in 1984. The core ideas of APV are developed further in this study in a manner that allows (on one and the same farmland) the cultivation of crops and vegetables as well as simultaneously generating electricity using specially designed APV-CPV solar panels. In this collaborative dual-purpose Energy/Agricultural Land-Conservation study, the authors report significant improvement achieved in Agricultural Photovoltaic (APV) Technology by Wen Liu and his team from the Institute of Advanced Technology in Hefei, Anhui China. In particular, the study provides a detailed analyses of how the technology can be tailored to block out harmful radiation from farm crops, provide renewable electricity and thereby improve the living standards of the rural and small island populations of Papua New Guinea (PNG is a Pacific Island nation, North of Australia). The aim is to free the country from fossil fuel dependency, reduce Carbon dioxide (CO2) emission and contribute to the global action against climate change in line with the PNG Government National Energy Policy covering 2018 to 2050 as well as the United Nations energy goals.</p></abstract>
