Get the latest action-ready best practices from the leaders advancing agrivoltaics in California.
Join us on September 23rd at 10:30am PT to hear about the agrivoltaics research happening at UC ANR's South Coast Research and Extension Center in Irvine.
Topics include:
Walkthrough of a cable-suspended, retractable semitransparent agrivoltaic system built specifically for crop production rather than traditional, static ground panels;
Discussion on how dynamic agrivoltaics can unlock underutilized urban footprints, such as gravel lots, and modular shipping container spaces; and
Insights into the benefits and operational challenges of managing off-grid battery storage and farm power distribution.
