SUMMARY:Crop Performance in Agrivoltaics II
DESCRIPTION:Which crops grow best in agrivoltaics? The answer depends on your location and your goals.

SUMMARY:Ewes and Utilities:  Ins and Outs of Sheep Solar Grazing
DESCRIPTION:The University of Minnesota Extension invites you to a webinar exploring the “win-win” practice of solar grazing. This session features Jess Gray\, Vice President of the American Solar Grazing Association (ASGA) and owner of Gray’s LAMBscaping\, alongside Paul and Dana Cummings\, co-founders of Indiana’s Sunovis Ranch. \n\n\n\nDrawing on Jess’s extensive research and practical experience in solar grazing and the Cummings’ expertise in operating a family-run grazing business\, the panel will bridge the gap between technical solar development and livestock production. \n\n\n\nParticipants will gain an understanding of site evaluation and infrastructure essentials and the economic and environmental benefits of using sheep as a biological alternative to mechanical mowing. Whether you are a sheep producer looking to diversify income or a solar developer seeking sustainable vegetation management\, this webinar is for you. \n\n\n\nPre-registration is required to access the Zoom link. Free to attend. \n\n\n\nLearn more: https://umn.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_oqoerL2XT4Ssaz4WnbG4Dw#/registration \n\n\n\n\nRSVP

SUMMARY:ASGA Call 97: The New and Improved Solar Grazing Contract Template
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to introduce an updated version of one of ASGA’s most-used resources: the Solar Grazing Master Services Agreement (MSA) Template\, a.k.a. the ASGA Contract Template. \n\n\n\n​Previous versions of this contract template helped set the industry standard for solar grazing contracts and have been widely used across the country. The solar grazing industry has undergone significant growth since we last released an update in 2022\, and we decided it was time to revisit the contract and update it to reflect changes in the industry. \n\n\n\n​During the revision process\, we worked with the Food and Farm Business Law Clinic at Pace University’s Elisabeth Haub School of Law to incorporate insights and lessons learned from real-world use across the industry. The Pace Law team reviewed extensive feedback collected from ASGA members\, including experienced solar graziers and representatives of major IPPs with grazing on their sites. \n\n\n\n​At this webinar\, Pace Law students Hope Newkirk and Andrew Lander will walk us through the key updates to the template\, explaining what has changed and the reasoning behind those revisions for both graziers and solar site operators. Lexie Hain\, ASGA Board of Directors and Director of Agrivoltaics and Land Management at Lightsource bp\, will join us to provide additional context for the revisions. \n\n\n\n​Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and deepen their understanding of solar grazing contracting best practices. \n\n\n\n​Key updates to the template include: \n\n\n\n\n​Vegetation maintenance standards\n\n\n\n​Delayed commencement of grazing\n\n\n\n​Late payment provisions\n\n\n\n​Notification requirements for maintenance or emergency conditions\n\n\n\n\n​About the Template: The solar grazing contract template is designed to provide a clear\, standardized framework for agreements between sheep graziers and solar companies. It is structured as a Master Services Agreement (MSA) that governs the overall relationship\, paired with Statements of Work (SOW) that define site-specific terms for individual projects. Together\, these components help ensure consistency\, clarity\, and scalability across multiple grazing sites. The original template was created in 2018 and updated in 2022 in partnership with the Food and Beverage Law Clinic (now the Food and Farm Business Law Clinic) at Pace University’s Elisabeth Haub School of Law. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe New and Improved Solar Grazing Contract TemplateWednesday\, May 13th\, at 1:00pm ET \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration link: https://luma.com/gy2zitwr

SUMMARY:Ecovoltaics
DESCRIPTION:The area under solar panels can also be used to create habitat for natural vegetation and related ecosystem services\, such as pollinator habitat\, biodiversity conservation\, carbon storage and more. In this seminar we explore examples of “ecovoltaics”. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\nJuan Pinos\, Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas\, who will present on the impacts of solar panels on temperature and soil moisture in a desert ecosystem (in Spanish).\n\n\n\nMatthew O’Neal\, Professor of Entomology at Iowa State University\, will present on the impact of agrivoltaics on pollinator and insect communities (in English).\n\n\n\n\nLearn more: https://avsinfronteras.org/?event=afd80f2e-2018-44f4-8f50-038b93494b72 \n\n\n\n\nRSVP
