China is at the forefront of integrating solar PV energy into agriculture as a sustainable and efficient power source. Current trends demonstrate that solar PV technology added over 10 GW of solar capacity to benefit over 2 million citizens by 2020 for irrigation, automation, and smart agricultural operations. Farmers gain from this transition by lowering operating costs, increasing agricultural yields, and encouraging environmental sustainability. Government incentives and programs that promote energy independence and rural development drive this tendency even further. Solar PV energy is quickly transforming China's agricultural future, allowing a greener, more resilient, and commercially viable sector and increasing per-capita income by approximately 7 % to 8 %. By the end of 2018, a total of 15.44 million kW of photovoltaic poverty alleviation had been allocated nationwide to 2.24 million homes. Combining photovoltaic technology with agricultural activities results in increased yield per unit of farmed land, with values ranging from 20 to 60 % higher, depending on crop variety. However, a few papers provide a detailed summary of current developments. This review is presented to bridge the gap between recorded literature and technical advances in the field of solar PV-powered technologies in agriculture. This essay delves deeper into the technological developments and real-world examples that show how Chinese agriculture might move toward a more sustainable and energy-efficient future. This research illuminates the existing trends, opportunities, and suggestions for this dramatic transition.
