To provide a crop cultivation system that allows crops to be grown by effectively utilizing land, while allowing plants that prefer sunlight and cannot grow in the shade to be grown, and that allows high-yield and highly profitable crops to be grown, in a solar power generation facility.SOLUTION: Provided is a crop cultivation system 1 in a solar power generation facility in which a plurality of solar panels 2 are installed in parallel across a passageway 3, comprising: a soil cultivation area 5 in which crops are planted on the ground below the solar panels 2; and an elevated cultivation area 6 in which crops are cultivated on a movable elevated bench 7 that is movable under the solar panels 2 and in the passageway 3. The movable elevated bench 7 moves to the passageway 3 during the day when the sun shines on the passageway 3 so that the crops planted in the elevated cultivation area 6 receive sufficient sunlight, and moves to under the solar panels 2 at night or during maintenance of the solar panels 2. In the soil cultivation area 5, negative plants are cultivated, and in the elevated cultivation area 6, semi-negative plants and/or positive plants are cultivated.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】太陽光発電施設において、土地を有効活用して作物が栽培できるとともに、日光を好み日陰では育たない植物も栽培でき、かつ高収量で高収益の作物が栽培できる作物栽培システムを提供する。【解決手段】通路３を挟んで複数の太陽光パネル２が並設された太陽光発電施設での作物栽培システム１である。前記太陽光パネル２下の地面に作物が地植えされる土耕栽培領域５と、前記太陽光パネル２下と前記通路３とを移動可能な移動式高設ベンチ７上で作物を栽培する高設栽培領域６とが備えられている。前記移動式高設ベンチ７は、通路３に日が差す日中は通路３に移動して高設栽培領域６に植えられた作物に充分に日光が当たるようにし、夜間や太陽光パネル２のメンテナンスのときなどは、太陽光パネル２下に移動する。前記土耕栽培領域５では陰性植物を栽培し、前記高設栽培領域６では半陰性植物及び／又は陽性植物を栽培する。【選択図】図１
