Agrivoltaics is the combined use of solar panels and agriculture under the panels that together use less energy and produce more crops. It can also provide shade for livestock.
Learn More
Agrivoltaics refers to any type of farming or crop cultivation that occurs underneath or around solar panels. Crops can thrive under solar panels since they protect from the harsh sun.

Not all crops perform equally; some plants thrive unequally under these conditions, while others may not perform as well. Below are some recommended crop families for agrivoltaic projects.

So, what kind of benefits do shade-grown crops receive, and what are the challenges of growing crops under any kind of shade, for both the trees and the solar panels?
Learn More
Agrivoltaics, the practice of combining solar energy production with agriculture, offers a dual opportunity to generate renewable energy and grow crops on the same land. However,
