Agrivoltaics Fundamentals and Best Practices

August 20-21, 2024 | Online :: Central Time

0824-agrivoltaics

“This is the most comprehensive Agrivoltaics course on the market. I highly recommend to anyone working in the renewable energy space that is trying to get up to speed on agrivoltaic project development and market trends.” Sr. Development Associate, NYSERDA

“The AgriPV forum included a wide variety of experts from industry, academia, research, and other national organizations. This gave different perspectives and viewpoints on an emerging subject that is still relatively unknown to the solar industry.” Anonymous

The widespread adoption and development of solar projects across a nearly full range of landscapes, topographies and geographies has triggered multiple “dual use” innovations. Among the most promising of these is agrivoltaics: the co-location of solar with natural resource practices broadly characterized as agriculture. This course delves into:

• Combining crops, pollination, grazing and more with solar arrays to amplify the potential of solar projects
• Maximizing the compatibility, sustainability and profitability of agrivoltaics
• Innovative concepts of co-locating solar installations with agricultural practices, unlocking economical and practical benefits in diverse landscapes

Join us to maximize the dual-use outcomes of solar energy and natural resource practices in this dynamic and forward-thinking course.

9:30 – 10:30 a.m. :: How and Why the Vegetation Establishment on Utility-Scale SolarProjects Can, and Does, Go Wrong

This session will look at the many reasons why the final vegetative cover on solar sites has oftentimes been established and performed less than expected, especially when pollinator health and habitat benefits are a project objective. Just as there are codes for wiring and other aspects of a solar project, there is a “code” for the vegetative cover establishment and management that needs to be followed. This presentation will talk about the many important aspects of seed mixture design, seed procurement, seed storage, planting techniques, planting timelines, site preparation, management during year 1, etc.

Peter Berthelsen, President, Conservation Blueprint and Executive Director, The Bee and Butterfly Habitat Fund

10:30 – 10:45 a.m. :: Morning Break

10:45 – 11:30 a.m. :: Case Study: Managing Agrivoltaics with Perennial Vegetation to Maximize Ecosystem Services

The focus of this study was to determine how various perennial vegetation management strategies influence the provision of ecosystem services by agrivoltaic facilities. Key ecosystem services that will be discussed include forage/hay production, pollinator habitat, and soil carbon sequestration. This research was done at Jack’s Solar Garden in Longmont, CO and can inform agrivoltaic management plans in other semi-arid climates throughout the Rocky Mountain region.

Christopher Toy, Ph.D. Candidate at Colorado State University, Department of Soil and Crop Sciences

11:30 – 12:00 p.m. :: Modeling the Agrivoltaic Microclimate

In recent years, research from both industry and academia has focused on the microclimate effect of agrivoltaics and its influence on crop growth. This research often covers topics such as irradiance dynamics, thermal modeling, and crop yield prediction. With a stronger handle on these dynamics, better agrivoltaics systems can be designed with microclimate and crop dynamics in mind. This session will focus on current breakthroughs and barriers in agrivoltaics modeling, as well as the potential for data-driven agrivoltaics design.

Peter Westbrook, Co-Founder, Fundusol
