Agrivoltaics refer to growing crops, building pollinator habitats or raising livestock underneath solar panels. It allows for renewable energy systems and agriculture to occur on the same piece of land.
For 12 years, Barron-Gafford has been investigating agrivoltaics, the integration of solar arrays into working farmland. This practice involves growing crops or other vegetation, such as...
Researchers and farmers around the country are currently experimenting and collecting data on what crops, pollinator plants, and/or livestock situations work best with photovoltaic setups.
Discover how agrivoltaics combines solar energy and agriculture. Learn how you can grow crops under solar panels. See if this innovative farming method is right for you.
Agrivoltaics merges agriculture with photovoltaic panels, which generate electricity from sunlight. The combo produces clean energy and edible crops.
Explore the future of agriculture with farming under solar panels. Combining clean energy and crop production, it offers sustainable solutions to feed the world and protect the planet.
Agrivoltaics systems are adaptable to a wide range of crops, but those with lower light requirements, such as leafy greens, herbs and certain fruits and vegetables, may be particularly well
As demand for solar continues to rise, the potential for agrivoltaics to help meet clean energy targets is enormous. The dual-use approach behind agrivoltaics also opens up new opportunities for farmers
Research indicates that growing crops beneath photovoltaic displays can actually yield a distinct set of agricultural and environmental benefits. Thanks to the shade provided by the panels,...
In an effort to make their farms more environmentally and economically sustainable, some farmers are experimenting with agrivoltaics: growing crops underneath solar panels. This dual
