Abstract

To explore the effects of tea light complementary mode on the growth environment, yield performance and economic benefits, the microclimate environment such as temperature, humidity and light in the tea garden-PV complementary model was analyzed in this study with the open-air tea garden as a control. Indicators such as tea bud germination and growth, photosynthetic rate, and fresh leaf yield were detected, and the photovoltaic power generation was simulated and calculated. The overall economic benefits of the tea garden were analyzed. The results show that the photosynthetically active radiation of the tea canopy in photovoltaic tea gardens was lower than that in open-air tea gardens. The average minimum temperature of tea canopy in photovoltaic tea gardens at night in spring (March) was 0.63 ℃ higher than that in open-air tea gardens, and the average maximum temperature in daytime in summer (July) was 1.80 ℃lower than that in open-air tea gardens. The average relative humidity of tea canopy in photovoltaic tea gardens was higher than that in open-air tea gardens. The tea buds in photovoltaic tea gardens germinated and grew faster, and the utilization efficiency of light radiation was higher. The yield per unit area of the picking area in different harvesting seasons was 9.74%-28.84% higher than that of the open-air tea gardens. The overall output of the tea garden decreased by 23.11% to 34.16% due to the occupation of land for the construction of photovoltaic modules. The annual income of photovoltaic tea gardens, including power generation revenue, was 6.030×10⁵ CNY per hectare, while the annual income of open-air tea gardens was 2.249×10⁵ CNY. Considering the one-time investment cost of 3.740 3 million CNY for building photovoltaic modules, the total revenue of photovoltaic tea gardens will exceed that of open-air tea gardens after 9 years. This study has certain guiding and referential significance for the application and promotion of the tea-light complementary agricultural model in southern China.
