4 FAQs about Agricultural solar on-site energy

Can solar energy systems be used on agricultural land?

We draw some broader conclusions for policy concerning solar energy systems on agricultural land. From a public perspective, AV is equally acceptable across various agricultural production systems, including grain crops, pastureland, and horticultural production.

Does solar energy conflict with agriculture land use?

While this is a small fraction (less than 0.3%) of US land area, solar is likely to conflict with agriculture land use because the same attributes that make land appropriate for solar energy (plentiful sun, flat land) are also attractive for agriculture.

Can agrivoltaics improve land use?

As the energy transition accelerates and climate challenges intensify, agrivoltaics offers a promising solution for optimising land use by combining agriculture with solar power generation.

What is agrivoltaics & how does it work?

Agrivoltaics is an innovative approach that combines solar energy generation with agricultural land use. By installing solar panels above crops or alongside farming operations, this system allows for the dual use of land, enabling both food production and energy generation. A real game-changer for farmers, solar developers, and EPCs alike.
