Cranberry bogs double as solar power sites

Original: These cranberry bogs come with a side of solar

Some cranberry farms are installing solar panels alongside their bogs, pairing agriculture with clean energy generation on the same land. The dual-use approach lets growers earn extra income while contributing to renewable power production, and it is drawing attention as an example of how farmland can be adapted for solar without taking fields out of use.

Why now: Interest in dual-use 'agrivoltaics' projects that combine farming with renewable energy is growing
