Climate change is making itself felt around the world and the agricultural sector in particular is feeling its immediate effects. This is why we need to take action now, realize the opportunities of research, and design climate protection measures so that food security and a sustainable supply of energy go Read more…
This presentation from Temple University shows the benefits of grazing sheep on solar sites. Benefits include dual income for farmers, vegetation management, soil health improvement, and carbon sequestration.
French solar company TSE has developed an agrivoltaic rotating canopy that allows large agricultural machinery to move under the panels. The solution consists of a rotating structure that can host bifacial solar modules at a height of more than 5.5 meters, with a four-post structure measuring 27 m x 11 Read more…
Solar energy developers and farmers in the Haute-Saône department of France have collaborated with installing solar panels onto farmlands on Oct. 12.
Swedish energy firm Vattenfall has been given a permit to build a project in the Netherlands that plans to combine solar power with farming, in the latest example of how renewables and agriculture can potentially dovetail with one another.
Kominek’s farm, rebranded as Jack’s Solar Garden (Jack is his grandfather’s name), is part of a burgeoning industry known as agrivoltaics. It’s a relatively new field of research and Kominek’s farm is one of only about a dozen in the United States known to be experimenting with it.
A new report suggests that the Inflation Reduction Act could be even bigger than Congress thinks.
The Alliance for Renewable Energy of Laramie (ARE) led the Second Annual Laramie Solar Tour on Saturday, Oct. 1st, to educate Laramie citizens on the power and potential of solar energy. “Our goal with the Solar Tour is really to educate members of the public and inspire them to do Read more…
Next Saturday, October 1st the Alliance for Renewable Energy (ARE) will be hosting the second annual Laramie Solar Tour – an event aimed at educating and inspiring members of the community as we reach for our full solar energy potential. There are several options for participating in the Solar Tour Read more…
If the world wants to avoid some of the most serious ramifications of the climate crisis, countries will need to start shifting from fossil fuels to renewable energy quickly. The problem is that building all that new infrastructure is expensive – costing the world trillions of dollars to install solar panels, wind turbines, batteries and other renewable Read more…
