CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION

1. Abstract for the dataset This Jupyter Notebook is intended to accompany the publication "Agrivoltaics align with Green New Deal goals while supporting investment in the US’ rural economy".This reduced-order economic analysis estimates the total construction, operation, and energy storage costs of wide scale implementation of Agrivoltaic Systems in the United States. Additionally, estimates are made for potential job creation, emissions reduction, and total required land area of these systems. The jupyter notebook contains the full calculation used for the publication, allowing users to alter key assumptions and investigate the corresponding impact.

2. Date of data collection: This jupyter notebook does not utilize any original data. Citations for all data used can be found in the references section of the notebook.

3. Funding sources that supported the collection of the data: National Science Foundation (NSF) award NSF EAR 1740082 U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) award OREZ-FERN-852-E

CODE-SPECIFIC INFORMATION:

1. Installation This notebook requires a python distribution. The code was developed using the anaconda distribution which can be downloaded here: https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual

The notebook was tested using the following software versions: Anaconda 4.8.4 CPython 3.7.1 IPython 7.2.0 jupyter notebook 5.7.4

2. Requirements

The notebook requires a set of libraries but all libraries will be installed by running the code, without the user needing to do anything else.

Required libraries include: -pandas (0.23.4) -numpy (1.15.4) -ipywidgets (7.4.2) -matplotlib (3.0.2)

3. Usage This code looks at a situation where utility scale Agrivoltaics are used to meet 20% of US electricity generation and estimates the following: -Total Array costs -Costs for Lithium Ion battery storage -Area required -Returns from selling energy -CO2 emission reduction -Jobs created
