The solar grazing phenomenon is taking off like a rocket as more developers incorporate agrivoltaic design into solar arrays on farmland.
More research shows that agrivoltaics — the combination of solar and agriculture — can pay big dividends for communities and farmers.
Agrivoltaics have been all the rage this year, and perhaps they’re raging nowhere more than in Italy. Italy just recently held its first ever tender for agrivoltaics, and it was a big one! Bel Paese awarded contracts for 1.5 gigawatts of agrivoltaics solar projects within its borders. That’s spread across … [continued]
It’s time to catch up on the most interesting and most exciting cleantech stories of the past week. As it turns out, some of the top stories were also top stories in other recent weeks. But that’s just how big these stories are. There are several new stories as well, … [continued]
Space-saving bifiacial PV technology is a new addition to the dual-use agrivoltaic movement, which enables farmers to continue working their land while realizing income from solar projects.
Solar researchers have uncovered some tantalizing clues about the impact of agrivoltaic projects on the health and grazing habits of sheep, leading to a connection with improvements in wool quality.
Solar arrays and agriculture are strategically combined in the emerging science of agrivoltaics, focusing on farmer income, sustainable land use, and energy independence.
A new agrivoltaic array leverages the shade from solar panels to enhance growing conditions for the Japanese yam ebi-imo, demonstrating how food crops can co-exist with electricity production.
The US solar developer BlueWave has launched a suite of five agrivoltaics projects in Massachusetts, including a community solar angle that benefits local ratepayers as well as farmers.
