How Agrivoltaics Can Help Solve Land Access Challenges for Emerging and Young Farmers
The 2022 National Young Farmer Survey, a survey conducted by the National Young Farmers Coalition, found that land access is the number one challenge faced by young farmers.
Schletter supplies Central Europe's largest Agri-PV project
A total of 260,000 PV modules were installed on around 180 hectares of farmland in the municipalities of Wallern and Tadten in the Austrian province of Burgenland. The modules were mounted on the Schletter Tracking System 2V in an east-west orientation.
Iseli Nursery; Pure Energy Group and SMA America
Economically, the project provides substantial savings on electricity bills, enhancing the financial stability of Iseli Nursery. These savings can be redirected towards other operational needs, fostering growth and sustainability in the long run.
Wind Energy v. Solar Energy: Which is a Better Renewable for Your Commercial Farm?
While both technologies offer their own advantages, specific factors like your budget, land availability, and available financial incentives, will determine which solution is more advantageous to you.
Solar + Sheep = Success! Renewable ways to live off the land
The success of "solar grazing" programs at Arnprior and other facilities across Canada
and the U.S. has garnered attention from landowners, sheep farmers and solar
developers alike.
Ensuring Supply Chain Resilience: Key to Energy Sustainability
According to the DOE, global demand for photovoltaic solar energy is expected to increase significantly in the coming years, requiring a total investment of $8 billion in supply chain facilities to meet the demand.
FIELDS AND THE SUN: AGRICULTURAL PV, AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE ENERGY AND THE FARMING INDUSTRY
Shading and wind protection provided by solar panels reduces evaporation, and innovative solar panels have been developed that also collect rainwater for irrigation. This can benefit farming operations by boosting their resilience against crop failure.
