Solar Energy + Economic Development + Land Stewardship
Agrivoltaics
Ripple Effects
Agrivoltaics
Stakeholders in Georgia are exploring how solar development can integrate with working lands—to the mutual benefit of both. Dual-use practices—known as "agrivoltaics" or AgPV—have a great many applications including livestock grazing, crop raising, and conservation habitat able to add production value and performance.
Ecovoltaics
Ripple Effects
Agrivoltaics
Single-purpose solar projects increasingly intersect with farmland and forests, posing tough tradeoffs that compromise essential ecosystem services. Integrated "ecovoltaics" systems incorporate conservation best practice and achieved performance improvements on par with the CRP—and better—i.e. 20X bee counts in MN.

Ripple Effects
Georgia’s rapid economic and energy growth are reshaping conversations about land use tradeoffs—and driving questions as to how best to maximize limited land resources to meet the future's many demands. Multi-purpose solar farming practices can provide a powerful answer stack with positive local ripple effect.
