4 FAQs about Farmland solar panel support installation

Should solar energy be located on farmland?

Locating solar energy on farmland could significantly increase the available land for solar development, while maintaining land in agricultural production and expanding economic opportunities for farmers, rural communities, and the solar industry.

How can farmers benefit from solar energy?

Farmers can benefit from solar energy in several ways—by leasing farmland for solar; installing a solar system on a house, barn, or other building; or through agrivoltaics. Agrivoltaics is defined as agriculture, such as crop production, livestock grazing, and pollinator habitat, located underneath solar panels and/or between rows of solar panels.

Can solar panel infrastructure be integrated with agricultural practices?

Integration of solar panel infrastructure with agricultural practices. Depending on your desired agrivoltaics operations, the photovoltaics (PV) system design may need to be updated to allow for safe agricultural operations around the solar infrastructure.

How do solar panel placement strategies work?

Solar panel placement strategies for maximizing energy production and/or crop yield. While agrivoltaics allows for both renewable energy and agricultural production on the same plot of land, there are often energy and/or agricultural tradeoff considerations for different solar designs.
