Modern agriculture dramatically increases food production and continuously plays a critical role to remit the food crisis in the world. However, agricultural modernization also consumes more energy and land than the traditional small-scale peasant farming. The integration of photovoltaics into modern agriculture is a promising method to utilize the vast agricultural land efficiently and provide extra energy for crop production. Due to the tunable energy of the organic molecules, semitransparent organic solar cell serves as an ideal candidate. Rationally designed devices can allow sunlight with selected wavelengths to pass though and get absorbed by the plants for photosynthesis. Meanwhile, relatively high photovoltaic performances are also preferred for energy generation. In this article, important studies of semitransparent organic solar cells for agricultural applications are reviewed, and the design routes and strategies are summarized. The perspectives for the future research on agricultural photovoltaics are also presented.

现代农业极大地增加了粮食产量，并在缓解世界粮食危机方面继续发挥着关键作用。但是，农业现代化也比传统的小农耕作消耗更多的能源和土地。将光伏并入现代农业是一种有效利用广阔农田并为农作物生产提供额外能源的有前景的方法。由于有机分子的能量可调，半透明有机太阳能电池作为理想的候选人。合理设计的设备可以让选定波长的阳光通过并被植物吸收以进行光合作用。同时，相对较高的光伏性能也更适合用于发电。本文综述了农业应用半透明有机太阳能电池的重要研究，总结了设计路线和策略。还提出了未来农业光伏研究的前景。
