Agrivoltaics beats fossil fuels with a bottom line case for farmers to install solar panels on their land.
Nevertheless, the Agrivoltaics Act is aimed at helping farmers turn a profit by co-locating solar panels on their farmland, so that’s different. In a press release announcing the new bill, Braun firmly asserted that solar power is good for business.
“This bill will research agrivoltaics — solar panel systems that can be deployed over crops that can benefit from partial shading during the day — and how they can help farmers get more out of their fields,” he added. The idea has already gained widespread acceptance, but the underlying research is still a work in progress. Heinrich and Braun aim to accelerate the learning curve through the new bill. It directs the US Department of Agriculture to conduct a soup to nuts state-of-the-science review. USDA is also tasked with defining agrivoltaic systems into existing federal programs.
“ARS will collaborate with USDA Climate Hubs and extension programs to translate research findings into educational and actionable technical assistance materials for farmers and ranchers,” the senators explain.Funding for the new bill is a measly $15 million per year for the fiscal years 2024-2028, but a little can go a long way considering that USDA can leverage existing resources, including programs that are already under way.
