SUMMARY:ASGA Call 96: ASGA and NLR's New Checklist for Implementing Solar Grazing
DESCRIPTION:What does successful solar grazing actually look like in practice\, and how should it be measured? \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, we’ll hear from a panel on how this challenge was addressed with a new resource. The American Solar Grazing Association and the National Laboratory of the Rockies (previously the National Renewable Energy Laboratory) developed Means and Metrics: The Standard Checklist for Solar Grazing\, the first comprehensive framework for evaluating solar grazing systems. \n\n\n\nWe’ll also briefly introduce ASGA’s new resource\, A Quick Guide to Agrivoltaics Monitoring & Research Design\, which was created in partnership with The Nature Conservancy\, and outlines core principles for collecting reliable data on agricultural and ecological outcomes under solar infrastructure. \n\n\n\nBuilt from a review of existing research and informed by real-world experience\, the Means and Metrics report provides the first comprehensive framework for understanding the means of successful implementation and the metrics for evaluating performance across solar grazing projects. The guide is organized into six major areas: social\, economic\, ecological\, livestock\, grazing management\, and site design. The report provides practical tools for planning\, record-keeping\, and decision-making. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, ASGA and a panel of industry experts will walk through sections of the report. They’ll discuss how graziers and solar owners and operators can use these checklists to follow industry best practices when implementing solar grazing. Panelists will discuss how these standards can help improve transparency\, strengthen grazing systems\, and support long-term project success.Whether you are a solar grazier\, developer\, landowner\, or researcher\, this session will provide practical tools for evaluating and strengthening solar grazing systems. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nASGA and NLR’s New Checklist for Implementing Solar GrazingWednesday\, April 8th\, at 4:00pm ET \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\nRegistration link: https://luma.com/zz5kd293 \n\n\n\nThank you to our sponsor\, Nofence! \n\n\n\nEvents 2

SUMMARY:2026 Virginia Solar Summit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the timely return of the region’s foremost solar + land stewardship event back at the downtown Richmond Marriott April 13-15 for 2 full days of high impact programming about all things ground-mounted solar development\, along with 3 evenings of exceptional networking opportunities\, at the 2026 Virginia Solar Summit (VSS26)! Hosted again by the Virginia Department of Energy\, attendees will enjoy another uncommonly constructive\, collaborative\, and substantively-oriented solar energy development event\, now in its 7th edition. \n\n\n\nTaking its lead from the new administration and the next legislative session\, VSS26 is set to facilitate another substantial step in the evolution of solar\, land stewardship and development policy (and practice) in the Commonwealth of Virginia\, and beyond. Again featuring doers and decision-makers across Greater Virginia\, as well as many national leaders in solar\, soil\, land stewardship and\, yes\, agriculture\, will rally a rare collection of interdisciplinary professionals for one of the industry’s most immersive and enriching conference experiences! \n\n\n\nVSS26’s focus tracks will be (1) policy\, (2) community engagement\, and (3) land stewardship best practice (including agrivoltaics). \n\n\n\nRichmond Marriott Downtown 500 E Broad StRichmond\, VAUnited States \n\n\n\nLearn more: https://virginiasolarsummit.com/ \n\n\n\n\nRSVP
