  1. Agrivoltaic systems, which achieve sustainable food and energy co-production (SFE) by installing photovoltaics (PVs) on farmland, offer a climate-resilient solution for meeting ”full Earth” needs while adhering to land limitations. However, limited research on major row crops, such as corn (Zea Mays), constrains the widespread adoption of agrivoltaics. To bridge this research gap, a two-step process was executed. First, extensive corn growth data was collected from neighboring regions, specifically segregating ”with-PV” (shaded) and ”without-PV” (unshaded) areas under real farming conditions. Using data from unshaded areas, the APSIM plant model was calibrated. Subsequently, an analytical shadow model was used to compute the spatiotemporal shadow distribution (SSD) for each row of corn between PV panels. This SSD data helped validate the APSIM model using the experimental corn yield data from shaded areas.
