The Expanse of Agrivoltaics Webinar
August 19, 2025 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm EDT
This webinar series focuses on solar grazing for cattle and sheep, as well as growing forages or grain crops under solar panels.
The practice of grazing livestock under solar panels has become increasingly popular. It is often referred to as “agrivoltaics” or “solar grazing.” This system uses land for both solar energy production and livestock grazing or crop production.
In this session, three trailblazers in agrivoltaics —Peter Schmitt (US Solar), Byron Kominek (Colorado Agrivoltaic Learning Center), and Lexie Hain (Lightsource bp) —share hands-on experience integrating pollinator habitats, vegetable production, field crops, and livestock grazing beneath solar panels. Discover how they’re transforming solar sites into thriving, multifunctional landscapes.
