Interested in integrating solar panels with crop or livestock production?
Agrivoltaics is an innovative dual land use approach, combining farming and ranching activities underneath solar panels. From grazing livestock to growing produce beneath solar arrays, this emerging practice is gaining momentum across the U.S.—including right here in Boulder, CO.
Join us for the Front Range Agrivoltaic Demonstration Day to see an on-farm example of grazing sheep and cattle and growing vegetables under solar panels at Jack’s Solar Garden. Connect with experts, and explore whether this approach could work for your operation or how you can support other producers through education and technical assistance.
