One of the main challenges is the lack of clear definition and dedicated standards. Agrivoltaics is still a relatively new technology, and there is no agreed-upon set of guidelines for how it should be implemented. This can make it difficult for farmers and developers to know how to create effective and efficient systems.

Agrivoltaics' potential could be unlocked if policymakers made changes, according to the report's 17 recommendations. This includes ensuring certified agri-PV systems were not excluded from common agricultural policy (CAP) subsidies; further research and development, and pilot schemes to overcome technical challenges; financial support through member states' national policies was provided; and more.

deployment could also be fast-tracked through spatial planning and simplifying permitting and grid connection procedures, with the farmer's economic benefit and property security placed front-of-mind for governments.
