Agrivoltaic effects on crops are dependent on panel height, spacing, and shading, highlighting the need for site-specific considerations to simultaneously optimize agricultural
Local government officials are key conduits of information about solar energy, and are among the first to receive information from solar developers. The general public has significantly different preferences
NLR gathers datasets, conducts analysis, and develops tools to inform adoption of solar energy to benefit industries and communities across the United States. We welcome your feedback
As shown in Map 1, roughly 18% of ground-mounted PV facilities in the U.S. were installed between 2021 and 2023, with a notable portion of these projects built on former cropland or
In the context of climate change and rural revitalization, numerous solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are being installed on village roofs and lands, impacting the enjoyment of the new rural landscape
Solar energy development can create clean energy, jobs, and other economic benefits in these communities. At the same time, the conversion of agricultural land, which tends to be flat and
From 2021 to 2022, the application of RDPVs in rural areas expanded rapidly, with the annual installation of household PVs exceeding 20 million kilowatts for two consecutive years,
Solar energy initiatives have become increasingly important in rural communities as a means of ensuring access to clean and sustainable energy sources. This article explores the
NLR studies economic and ecological tradeoffs of agrivoltaic systems. To meet renewable energy goals by installing large-scale solar operations, agricultural land may be taken out
