The process of combining agricultural production and solar panels on the same farmland, known as agrivoltaics, has seen a great leap in Cornell research activity.

Agrivoltaics is the use of land for both agriculture and solar photovoltaic energy generation. It''s also sometimes referred to as agrisolar, dual use solar, low impact solar.
Customer Service
Agrivoltaics is the practice of bringing together agricultural activities and photovoltaics (PV)—using the same land to harvest solar energy and reap agricultural benefits, like grazing, crop
Customer Service
In the race to meet renewable energy goals as demand rises across the United States, farm and ranch land is increasingly becoming a target for solar development.
Customer Service
Most large, ground‐mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are installed on land used only for solar energy production. However, it is possible to co-locate solar systems and agriculture on the same land.
Customer Service
Agrivoltaics is a relatively new term used originally for integrating photovoltaic (PV) systems into the agricultural landscape and expanded to applications such as animal farms, greenhouses, and
Customer Service
As the world looks for ways to produce more with less, agrivoltaics offers a fresh approach: combining solar panels and agriculture on the same land.
Customer Service
Agrivoltaics refers to the simultaneous use of land for both solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation and agriculture. By elevating solar panels above crops or integrating them into fields with sufficient

Customer Service
Agrivoltaics—blending solar energy with farming—offers a potential dual-use land strategy, but is dependent upon site-specific environmental and economic considerations.
