Crops and kilowatts: Agrivoltaics project will harvest solar energy from farmland

Water, energy, and agriculture form the bedrock of civilization. While many technologies have advanced these components separately, few have aimed to address all three simultaneously.

Agrivoltaic technology promises to improve food production and reduce water use, while also generating energy. The idea is to place solar panels on land where crops are grown, allowing farmers to harvest the power of the sun twice.
