SUMMARY:Answering the Energy & Agriculture Emergencies in Farming Communities Pt 2
DESCRIPTION:Join the Solar Farm Summit community on Zoom or YouTube on 7/10 at 11AM ET for the next in the free SFS webinar series\, Answering the Energy and Agriculture Emergencies in Farming Communities Part 2\, wherein they will zoom in on China to examine how this generation of Chinese leadership is implementing a plan to solve China’s ancient food\, energy and water problems with multipurpose solar power projects. A concerted effort to hold back China’s deserts has produced mixed results since instituted in 1978 and many trees planted to hold the deserts back died for lack of water. But solar panels can conserve water without using it by casting shade that cools the soil and contains more moisture\, under which various plants can still thrive and agricultural production can gain competitive advantage akin to commercial greenhousing. \n\n\n\nLearn more: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/answering-the-energy-agriculture-emergencies-in-farming-communities-pt-2-tickets-1450468062019?aff=oddtdtcreator \n\n\n\n\nEvent Page

SUMMARY:ASGA Call 88: Update on Rutgers Agrivoltaics Research - Hay\, Soybeans\, Vegetables\, and Beef Cows
DESCRIPTION:For our July webinar\, we’ve invited the folks at the Rutgers Agrivoltaics Program to discuss their ongoing research in New Jersey. Across three sites\, they are investigating the impact of agrivoltaics on the yield and quality of hay crops\, field crops\, and vegetables. As part of the research project\, the team is investigating the potential for solar beef cows using a vertical bi-facial system. Their research looks at the impact of those vertical bi-facial panels on pasture production and animal grazing patterns when coupled with large animal production. \n\n\n\nDave Specca\, Rutgers Agrivoltaics Program Lead\, will present on the results of the first year’s crop trials for hay\, soybean\, and vegetable crops. He will also discuss the vertical bifacial system they have installed for their solar beef cow trial. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpdate on Rutgers Agrivoltaics Research – Hay\, Soybeans\, Vegetables\, and Beef CowsWednesday\, July 9th at 6:00pm ET \n\n\n\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Iowa State University Agrivoltaics Open House
DESCRIPTION:Iowa State University\, has initiated a public-private partnership with Alliant Energy on the design and construction of the The Alliant Energy Solar Farm at Iowa State University where they explore growing crops within and around photovoltaic (PV) panels to quantify the benefits of agrivoltaic practices. At this site they explore a subset of agricultural activities most amenable to the unique environment of a solar farm\, and develop best practices for economic and environmentally sustainable production practices conducted within solar farms designed for mega-watt scale production. This partnership allows them to estimate the impact of agricultural practices around PV panels on the microclimate and subsequent PV efficiency. They will measure these potential impacts while also analyzing the multiple economic costs and values to developers\, utilities\, farmers and rural communities affecting agrivoltaic development in the Midwest. They have assembled a multi-disciplinary team\, in cooperation with public and private entities\, to address the intersecting needs of various stakeholders including but not limited to: PV developers and utilities with contracts for PV\, landowners\, and farmers interested in agrivoltaics. This DOE funded project will determine if and under what conditions agrivoltaic practices in the Midwest can benefit local food production systems and what resources are needed to assist multiple stakeholders. \n\n\n\nIowa State University is offering a 2025 Open House Series to visit the Alliant Energy Solar Farm. \n\n\n\nAlliant Energy Solar Farm 52166 260th StAmes\, IAUnited States \n\n\n\nLearn more: https://agrivoltaics.research.iastate.edu/ \n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Mainstreaming Vertical PV and Agrivoltaics
DESCRIPTION:For solar projects in 2025\, finding space on crowded electricity networks is a major concern. Many are looking to co-located storage as a solution\, but vertically-installed bifacial PV modules offer another potential route to delivering PV energy at different times of the day. As PV penetration in mature markets surpass 15% (Germany\, 2024)\, we see that the effect of solar generation in the spot market prices is becoming critical to calculate the profitability of each new project. \n\n\n\nVertically installed PV produces most of its energy outside of the main generation hours of south-facing PV plants\, opening the door to a higher profitability of the system. In this webinar\, we’ll examine the part vertical PV can play in addressing low and negative electricity prices\, and securing long-term profitability for solar projects. The case for vertical PV is particularly compelling for projects on agricultural land\, and will be further explored through a look at one of the most developed markets for these agrivoltaics\, in Italy. \n\n\n\npv magazine Webinar content:• Vertical PV installation – opportunities and challenges• Market opportunities in agrivoltaics – lessons from Italy• Innovation and trends in heterojunction cell technology• Q&A \n\n\n\nLearn more: https://www.bigmarker.com/pv-magazine-events/pv-magazine-webinar-mainstreaming-vertical-pv-and-agrivoltaics?utm_bmcr_source=spnl&utm_source=Global+%7C+Newsletter&utm_campaign=58be6d23b6-Webinar_Huasun&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_6916ce32b6-58be6d23b6-160573644&ct=t(Webinar_Huausn)&mc_cid=58be6d23b6&mc_eid=d44b110fc8 \n\n\n\n\nEvent Page

SUMMARY:Answering the Energy & Agriculture Emergencies in Farming Communities Pt 1
DESCRIPTION:Join the Solar Farm Summit community on Zoom or YouTube June 4 at 11AM ET for a preview of the incredibly robust program the 2025 Solar Farm Summit\, the details about the student Dual-Use Design Competition and 2025 North American Agrivoltaics Awards finalists and voting process\, and start digging into the foundational forces driving the dual-use development renaissance forward in the first of a short summer webinar series featuring our very own Executive Producer\, and global macro strategist\, Dan French! \n\n\n\nA “new” solar renaissance is starting to add-value to agriculture and harvest compelling results around the world in revolutionary dual-use developments known as “agrivoltaics\,” or solar farms able to be agriculturally productive while simultaneously producing electricity and thereby eliminating present land use tradeoffs. A French vineyard in Tressere this fall\, for example\, harvested +60% more chardonnay grapes of better quality with less irrigation in its solar tracking trellis–consistent with similar recent results achieving more and better quality grapes under solar panels in Italy. \n\n\n\nBeyond clean and local electricity\, solar can do more. A lot more. When developed with agriculture or conservation in mind\, solar can do things otherwise hard or impossible to achieve. Solar can save farms\, start farms\, diversify production\, preserve and protect land\, create habitat and enhance biodiversity\, and revitalize rural communities. It already is\, here and there\, but agrivoltaics is ready to scale to new heights of productivity. \n\n\n\nWith record growth in energy demand that is forecast to endure for a generation\, America is going to need all the power it can get. And with rural America and farming communities still facing steep structural disadvantages\, the need for broad investment and a virtuous cycle of sustained growth remains acute.  \n\n\n\nCan agrivoltaics match the problems plaguing farms and farming communities with the opportunities that the solar investment tsunami could offer? What will it take to cultivate the agrivoltaics opportunity in fields far and wide\, effectively double the harvest\, and reap the full potential of this rare stack of homegrown benefits? And can the a cornucopia of electrical and agricultural performance of these dual-use systems be harnessed to cultivate another order of local economic development opportunity entirely. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss this free webinar June 4 at 11AM ET for the first in a short summer series exploring these questions and surveying the incredible breakthroughs being achieved in the nexus of agriculture and energy in these agrivoltaics and ecovoltaics enabled solar farms! \n\n\n\nTo learn more or register for the 2025 Solar Farm Summit\, please visit: https://solarfarmsummit.com/ \n\n\n\nRegister: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/answering-the-energy-agriculture-emergencies-in-farming-communities-pt-1-tickets-1367565779059 \n\n\n\n\nEvent Page
