Agrivoltaics: growing crops under solar panels
Original: Sandstorm: Can crops grow underneath solar panels? Greg Barron-Gafford believes they can thrive
University of Arizona researcher Greg Barron-Gafford is studying whether crops can be grown beneath solar panels, an approach known as agrivoltaics. His work suggests plants can not only survive in the shade of panels but thrive, as panels reduce heat and water stress while generating renewable energy. The project highlights growing interest in combining agriculture and solar power on the same land.
Why now: Interest is growing in dual-use land solutions that combine farming with renewable energy.
