ATTENTION: Farmers & Ranchers
Grow Energy. Earn Income.
Turn Sunlight into a Second Revenue Stream. Make your land work harder — and smarter — with agrivoltaic solar solutions that reduce costs, generate income, and support long-term agricultural productivity.
🌾 Agrivoltaics: Cultivate Your Land’s Full Potential
Your land can do more — without doing more to it.
Agrivoltaics (also called Agri-PV or agriphotovoltaics) is the practice of co-locating solar panels with agricultural production, allowing farmers and ranchers to generate power and income without sacrificing pasture, crops, or soil health. It’s more than an energy upgrade — it’s a strategic way to strengthen your operation in a changing climate and economy.
💸 Financially Resilient Farming
Agrovoltaics introduces new revenue streams through:
Electricity generation — either for your own use or to sell back to the grid
Land leasing to solar developers
Specialty solar crop programs (like pollinator-friendly farming or dual-use certifications)
Combined with federal tax incentives and USDA REAP grants, these systems can yield strong ROI and reduce your reliance on fluctuating market conditions
🌱 Better for Crops, Soil, and Livestock
Agrivoltaic systems create partial shade that can:
Lower crop stress and boost yields (as seen with tomatoes and chiltepins producing 2–3x more under panels)
Retain up to 15% more soil moisture, reducing irrigation needs and water costs
Protect from hail, wind, and extreme heat — reducing crop loss and extending growing seasons
Support grazing integration with sheep or goats, cutting vegetation maintenance and boosting dual productivity
Native plantings under panels also increase biodiversity, pollinator habitat, and even carbon sequestration — improving land health and resilience over time
🔧 Flexible Solar Options for Working Land
You’re not limited to traditional rooftop or ground arrays.
Raised solar arrays for farming under panels
Bifacial solar fencing that turns secure fencing into a vertical energy asset
Floating solar micro-grids for ponds, reservoirs, or irrigation basins — reducing evaporation and algae while producing clean power
Flexible solar options let you generate energy from fence lines, ponds, and pastures — without taking land out of production.
Is My Land a Good Fit for Agrivoltaics?
You don’t need perfect land or brand-new infrastructure to benefit from agrivoltaics. These systems are highly adaptable and can be customized for:
Open fields, pastures, or grazing areas
Cropland with seasonal or heat-sensitive crops
Fenced acreage where bifacial solar fencing can serve dual purposes
Areas with high electricity usage — such as irrigation pumps, refrigeration units, or barns
Farms transitioning to electric tractors, ATVs, or other electric equipment that benefit from on-site clean charging
