This is so cool. Every bit of cattle ranch land near a power connection should have this https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2023/06/30/beef-cattle-agrivoltaics-on-an-oregon-family-ranch/ #solar #agrivoltaics
I read this article a couple of days ago and find this innovation very interesting for sustainable energy production.

As I have seen a flurry of posts on #agrivoltaics #solarsharing, I thought I'd share what I just received from #climaterealityproject, an extensive market research from the US dept of #Energy , incl. country profiles (🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇨🇳 🇮🇹 ...) https://science.osti.gov/-/media/sbir/pdf/Market-Research/SETO---Agrivoltaics-August-2022-Public.pdf? #renewables

@craiggrannell Here is some really interesting study in #Japan where they are pushing for #agrivoltaics #solarsharing (via the #climaterealityproject) . They calculated that 10% coverage of agricultural lands would provide for 37% of #energy needs. https://climaterealityjapan.org/01/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/EN_Agrivoltaics-Pamphlet_CRPJapan.pdf

"It’s an ironic fact that sun-harvesting solar panels function better when they’re not too hot. But luckily researchers have now discovered precisely how to cool them down. Building solar panels at a specific height above crops can reduce surface temperatures by up to 10 °C, compared to traditional panels constructed over bare ground, they’ve found."

One of the most promising things to me is generational thinking, and either alternating land between #Solar and farming, or using #Agrivoltaics to accomplish both simultaneously. Coordinated longterm use of land over wide areas for generations is how we get to #Sustainability.

And if you can no longer use the land for farming, that means it won't continue to support farming jobs either.
On the flip side, using such land for solar has huge benefits for communities, not just the individuals leasing the land for income. A solar plant lifetime will be 20-30 years, and regenerative practices can return the land to use as a farm after if the owner doesn't want it to continue as a #solar plant. Or, they can continue both with #Agrivoltaics.

There is a concern that we’re going to take too much farmland out of production to put on solar panels,” Mathewson says in a new study. “But we’re already using a lot of land to primarily harvest energy in the form of corn made into ethanol. This analysis demonstrates how, with solar, we can harvest more energy using far less land.
It is not either or… but both.

Why #Solar & #Farming Is A Match Made In Heaven
Solar and agriculture are beginning to converge as farmers learn renewable energy can make farming more efficient and boost income.

Y si esto os gusta, permitidme que os presente el mundo de las #agrivoltaics, combinación de agricultura y placas solares con beneficios para ambos y totalmente solarpunk, porque esta es una cuenta de apreciación del solarpunk.
