Solar panels promise farmers a lifeline, but who profits?
Original: Solar panels promise farmers a lifeline. But who gets the profits?
Agrivoltaics, the practice of installing solar panels on farmland, is being promoted as a way to give farmers a second income while generating renewable energy. The debate centres on whether farmers themselves capture the profits, or whether energy companies and developers take the bulk of the value while farmers simply lease their land.
Why now: Growing interest in combining solar energy with agriculture has raised questions about who benefits financially as developers move onto farmland.
