California farmers are facing mounting challenges, including rising energy costs, water scarcity, and increasing pressure on farmland. But a promising solution is emerging: agrivoltaics, the practice of combining solar energy production with agriculture. This innovative approach offers a way to generate clean energy while maintaining productive farmland, potentially improving water efficiency, crop resilience, and farm income.
This fall, farmers across California are invited to attend four free events designed to explore how agrivoltaics can support working lands and strengthen farm resilience. These events are tailored specifically for farmers, ranchers, and landowners who want to learn more, share experiences, and help shape the future of agrivoltaics in California.
