About

Agrivoltaics is the practice of using farmland, range, or pasture for agriculture (including raising livestock) at the same time that photovoltaic (PV) panels on that property generate electrical energy from sunlight and transmit it back to the electric grid for public consumption.  The word is derived from agri, referring to food production through cultivation, and voltaic, related to energy production. 

Budgets for an Agrivoltaic solar farm can vary greatly. Budgets are determined by available land space, crop selection and the type of solar array to be installed. Permitting is an especially important consideration for planning an Agrivoltaic solar farm. In addition to local permits required for the buildout, the local energy/power company must be contacted to start the power generation permitting process.

Risks and challenges

Weather conditions are an important consideration for where your solar farm is located. Neighboring properties can also be a challenge with some neighbors committed to a "Not in My Backyard" attitude towards solar farms.
