Vertical bifacial solar seeking greenhouse albedo and deployment space A Colorado farmer installed vertical bifacial solar, leveraging greenhouse albedo to increase output. The installation demonstrates promising generation during winter months, while maximizing limited land space.

Solar installations within an agrivoltaic project can be constructed at a height that allows for equipment and workers to pass underneath, while also allowing room for crop growth.  #agrivoltaics #renewableenergytransition #cleanpower #solar

🚀 A Great Idea on the Horizon: Agrivoltaics 🌱☀️ Feeling inspired by the potential of agrivoltaics - a sustainable solution that combines agriculture with solar energy. This innovative approach not only generates clean energy but also provides shade for crops, optimizing land use and creating a harmonious balance between farming and energy production. It's exciting to see such forward-thinking ideas come to life, addressing both energy needs and agricultural productivity. The future of sustainability looks bright with agrivoltaics leading the way. #Sustainability #Agrivoltaics #Innovation #CleanEnergy

The practice of sheep and solar farms coexisting is known as solar grazing, with trials showing solar panels improve shade and moisture for better pasture. #agrisolar #sheep #merino #solar #renewables

In Wyoming, Sheep May Safely Graze Under Solar Panels in One of the State’s First “Agrivoltaic” Projects The elevated photovoltaic panels can actually improve grazing conditions, a novelty that could help make solar projects more land-efficient and accepted in the ranching-heavy state. #AgriSolar #agrivoltaics https://lnkd.in/gBiXpQYa

Thanks to @Zaki Muhammad for posting this report that a #AgriSolar with bifacial vertical panels is being installed in Vermont for the first time. In other parts of the world, installing this kind of AgriSolar system is common and in Germany and France they have AgriSolar / vertical installed in land that is not optimal for AgriSolar because it is too hilly. See comments below for AgriSolar resources.

Here’s what Europe’s largest floating solar farm is going to look like

Sheep grazing under solar panels is becoming a major trend in the US. Investors are using sheep to graze the grass around solar panels and, consequently, upkeeping their solar panel sites (Financial Times, 10 April). By doing this, investors aim to enhance their environmental image whilst generating local support for renewable energy projects.   Solar grazing increased tenfold over the last two years and represents a big opportunity for the struggling US sheep industry as farmers receive an additional source of revenue. @agri_voice_sa #internationalwool #solargrazing #grazing #solarpanels #solarenergy #investing ##financialtimes #agrivoice
