An increasing number of governments worldwide recognize the potential of agrivoltaics. However, the current legal frameworks and land-use policies are still a limiting factor for a broader expansion of agrivoltaics. This preliminary study compares the legal and policy frameworks in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Germany, and Massachusetts in the United States to identify common barriers and learning opportunities. The comparative study revealed positive changes for agrivoltaics in most countries in recent years, but many obstacles remain. To unleash the full potential of agrivoltaics, we suggest (1) advancing the institutionalization of agrivoltaics, (2) improve the social acceptance of agrivoltaics, and (3) provide financial incentives specifically for agrivoltaics. Many promising good practice examples to advance these three objectives already exist in the analyzed countries, showing the importance of knowledge sharing in the relatively new field of agrivoltaics to facilitate a fast expansion and avoid costly mistakes.
