Recently, in order to solve global warming and fine dust caused by coal power generation, many studies on eco-friendly clean energy have been conducted. Solar energy is a representative clean energy, and its supply is rapidly increasing due to the government's recent policy to expand new and renewable energy.

Photovoltaic power generation is a technology for converting solar energy into electrical energy using a solar panel, and the area of the solar panel and the amount of power generated are proportional. Therefore, in order to obtain a lot of electrical energy, it is very important to maximize the amount of power generation by widening the installation area of the solar panel.

However, in Korea, about 70% of the country is occupied by mountainous areas, and in the plains there are many paddy fields and fields for agricultural activities, so the installation area of solar panels is limited. When a solar panel is installed in a mountainous area, there is a problem that destroys the environment and harms the natural landscape due to forest damage, etc.

Accordingly, in recent years, the development of an agricultural solar power generation system capable of simultaneously producing crops and electricity by installing solar power generation facilities in rice fields and fields without damaging the environment is being actively promoted. Agricultural solar power generation system is a power generation system that maintains the function of farmland, and at the same time utilizes surplus solar energy above the light saturation point remaining after use of crops for solar power generation.

However, in the case of an agricultural solar power generation system, the shade generated by the solar panel installed on the upper layer of farmland and the supporting structure of the solar panel partially blocks the sunlight necessary for crop growth, resulting in a decrease in crop production. this exists
