New research shows how agrivoltaic systems can reshape soil by altering moisture, temperature, and microbial activity, creating heterogeneous zones under and between panels. Proper design and ...
Land tends to be a valuable thing. Outside of some weird projects in Dubai, by and large, they aren’t making any more of it. That means as we try to feed and power the ever-growing population of ...
A four-year study found that overhead solar panels in an Australian pear orchard reduced sun and hail damage but decreased fruit yield and blush coloration. While energy production and tree stress ...
EOS Investment Management Group portfolio company Lexham Power has acquired a 51 percent stake in agrivoltaics business ...
Legislation aimed at supporting agrivoltaics—the process of combining farming with solar energy generation—is advancing through the General Assembly.
A few years ago Nick Armentrout started seeing solar energy projects pop up all around his community in southern Maine. “I was rather alarmed and frankly not in support of the idea," he recalls.
A win-win is always welcome. But what about a win-win-win? Researchers say that’s what’s possible with agrivoltaics, a groundbreaking system that combines solar energy with agriculture. Some refer to ...
Combining agriculture and solar panels can bring new revenues to small farmers, save water, increase soil health, and help pollinators. Garcia is an environmental writer and editor based in New York.
Byron Kominek returned to his family's Colorado farm with a bold idea: grow crops and harvest solar energy. At Jack’s Solar Garden, Byron has transformed hay fields into a thriving hub, demonstrating ...
OACOMA, S.D. — Solar energy is nothing new, but a new concept called agrivoltaics is on the horizon. “That’s the coupling of solar energy with agriculture or farming in particular,” said Molly Brown, ...
Over the last two years, Germany’s policy framework has adjusted largely to emerging technologies of using land for both agricultural and solar energy production. A prerequisite of this development is ...
