Agrivoltaics have been the name of the game in the past few years in the solar power industry. On the surface, it seems simple — find farmland that could benefit from co-location with solar power plants, and then plop some solar panels on areas of the land that seem most … [continued]
Hundreds of sheep graze among the panels at the Sherco Solar power plant in Minnesota, which is slated for a major solar plus storage expansion (cropped, courtesy of Excel Energy).

Utility-scale solar power plants are still a rarity in West Virginia, but a new solar grazing project in Monongalia County could help spur more activity in the future.
People are finding new and creative ways to bring more solar power to the world, from agrivoltaics in the US to islands like Jamaica.
The energy firm Enel has just commissioned its largest solar power plant in the US, where sheep will serve as vegetation managers and soil enhancers (cropped, courtesy of Enel).

New Jersey Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill will zero in on solar power as the fastest, most economical way to add more electricity to the grid.
The EU Innovation Fund is supporting a new project that combines an agrivoltaic system with a wind turbine to produce green hydrogen.
EV batteries and solar panels are among the new clean technologies aimed at helping US farmers cut costs, improve crop yields, and improve livestock health, too.
Bifacial solar panels are among the new technologies at work to maximize the land use efficiency of agrivoltaic systems.
