Farmers can benefit from solar energy in several ways—by leasing farmland for solar; installing a solar system on a house, barn, or other building; or through agrivoltaics. Agrivoltaics is defined as agriculture, such as crop production, livestock grazing, and pollinator habitat, located underneath solar panels and/or between rows of solar panels.
There is significant opportunity to produce large amounts of solar energy on farmland. Agricultural land in the U.S. has the technical potential to provide 27 terawatts of solar energy capacity. This is a quarter of the total U.S. solar energy capacity of 115 TW. Only 0.3% of farmland is expected to be used for solar energy by 2035.
Installing solar panels on your farm can be beneficial enough to justify the cost. Some farmers even use the protection from the sun provided by the panels to help grow crops that thrive in the shade, a process known as agrivoltaics.
Solar power can indeed be used on farms, providing power to non-grid-connected areas. Solar panels coupled with inverters and solar batteries can supply sufficient power for most farming applications.
Our solar power systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
