Farmers no longer have to take agricultural land out of production to utilize solar panels. “Most of the land has some aspect of agrivoltaics, which means that you are able to farm under the panel,” says Scott Aranson, renewable energy developer, Demeter Land Development. “The things that you could do under the panels are increasing more and more as technology is improved.” Grazing and growing certain vegetables are common practices in agrivoltaics. Aranson says solar panels might be worth it when looking for revenue opportunities.
