"This agrivoltaic crop yield bump has been shown for dozens of other crops and solar panel combinations all over the world, including basil, broccoli, celery, corn, grapes, kale, lettuce, pasture grass, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes and more."

Soon we will all have inexpensive and more efficient solar as new materials are used. The latest advancements are #AgroVoltaics and #AquaVoltaics where the added moisture cools panels and increases their efficiency. #BiFacialSolar is reaching efficiency levels unseen in any power source to date!

Because hot cars make solar panels work less efficiently.
#AgroVoltaics are a different story since they work more efficiently because they operate at a lower temperature.
#AgroVoltaics are panels over crops that grow despite the position of the panels.
Heat reduces the effectiveness of solar. #AgroVoltaics operate more efficiently because of the cooling effects from crops that still grow under panels.
Farming meets solar power in Virginia! The Piedmont Environmental Council is piloting the state’s first agrivoltaics project. Read more about it below! @loudounnow.org #LoudounCounty #Agrovoltaics #SolarPower

We absolutely should be using existing roof and parking lot space for solar. But solar + farmland is also viable when done right. #agrovoltaics

Wow. A play-by-play of tactics those of us who have opposed fossil fuel build outs know all too well. A classic case study with an uplifting ending: clean energy won the day.
Thank you, Ohio.
Let's see this everywhere.

Planted kale under the solar array #agrovoltaics #smallfarmlife #solar #solarfarm #kale #csafarm #localfood #revolution
A first attempt at #Agrovoltaics. Planted zukes and cukes. Too shady under the arrays for them, so their yields were down 80% compared to the same crops grown in full sun. Will try shade loving crops under arrays and sun lovers between the arrays #smallfarmlife #farming #solar
Why wouldn’t you want to diversify revenue streams as a farmer. That is smart, sustainable and economically makes a lot of sense.

First, "yes" and "no" are not answers to an either-or question.
But #agrovoltaics is the answer, as already noted, so they can do both. Maybe a crop other than corn is better, but federal "incentives" are a strong motivator.
Good to see more research underway with both #agrovoltaics and #ecovoltaics on large scale solar farms.
Ecovoltaics research aims to balance grid scale solar with wildlife and livestock

🌞 Vertical solar panels: Power + crops?
🌾 Farms can install upright panels without reducing yields, generating green energy while acting as windbreaks.

This is our lab’s 4th summer of hosting high school researchers in the #DesaiLab through a Madison school district program. This year the student built a pair of low cost spectrometers to look at light quality for plants in solar arrays! It worked! #agrovoltaics or is it agri?
