According to the regulations, the maximum shading rate for agricultural land used for planting crops is 40%. The minimum yield level is determined based on the average yield of crops planted on such land over the past three years, multiplied by 70%.

If the yield does not meet the standards, the licenses of those who use such solar panels will be revoked. Farmers who cannot dismantle these panels will be left with abandoned fields.

After installing silicon solar panels on the farmland, it is not possible to grow green crops there. It is recommended to grow shade-tolerant crops such as mushrooms and ginger instead.
