California’s farmers face mounting pressures from every direction. Electricity prices are soaring, droughts are intensifying, and tempting utility-scale solar leases threaten to retire productive ...

A new Danish study shows that bifacial, vertical solar panels in agricultural fields can generate clean electricity without reducing crop yields. And they are better received by the public than ...

In 2023, world leaders pledged to triple global renewable energy capacity by the end of this decade at the COP28 climate conference in Dubai. Meeting this goal will require an unprecedented buildout ...

Scientists studying how land devoted to large-scale solar arrays can best be used to also grow food have made a breakthrough discovery that could allow such combined-use projects to flourish. One of ...

If you’re mounting solar panels, everybody knows the drill, right? Point them south, angled according to latitude. It’s easy. In a video which demonstrates that [Everyday Dave] is truly out standing ...

Meeting COP28’s renewable energy goals will require vast land, creating conflicts with agriculture and rural communities. Agrivoltaics, the practice of combining farming and solar power, offers a ...
