Agrivoltaics: The Dual-Purpose Farm
Turn unused land into productive land. Produce on-site power for critical farm operations like irrigation, processing, and cold storage.
The Opportunity: Fertile Land, Limited Power
In California and Hawaii, many fertile plots sit idle—not for lack of soil or water, but because connecting to the grid is costly and slow. In rural areas, drilling a well is often affordable, yet extending power can run into six figures and months of delay. Agrivoltaics changes that by generating electricity directly on the land you farm.
“From idle to productive with on-site solar.”
What Is Agrivoltaics—and Why It Works
Agrivoltaics combines raised solar arrays with active agriculture. Instead of choosing between “panels or crops,” you do both—producing food and power on the same acre. Proper layout preserves tractor/livestock access and crop light while cutting exposure to volatile utility rates.
Activate remote plots: Farm where grid extension isn’t feasible.
Predictable operating costs: Replace diesel and price shocks with sun-powered stability.
Resilience: Keep pumps and cold storage running during outages.
Solar-Powered Water Pumping: Making Irrigation Possible
For off-grid or hard-to-reach fields, solar pumping is the unlock.
Run deep-well or centrifugal pumps directly from sunlight.
Avoid diesel and long, expensive grid builds.
Keep water flowing with simple, low-maintenance hardware.
“Power your irrigation from the sun, not the grid.”
Dual Benefits: Crops + Energy, One Site
Well-designed arrays deliver agronomic and economic value.
Crop comfort: Partial shade can reduce heat stress for certain crops.
Grazing/traffic: Elevated rows and spacing allow animals and machinery underneath.
On-grid option: Where available, export excess power to the utility for added revenue.
“Elevated layouts preserve farm operations.”
Why It’s a Smart Choice
Maximize Land Use — harvest food and electricity on the same acre.
Power Independence — reduce exposure to utility rate volatility.
Resilience — pumps and cold storage keep working through outages.
Open New Plots — make remote, fertile land viable with on-site power.
Final Thought
Fertile land without power is wasted potential. Agrivoltaics turns that potential into reality—bringing water, energy, and productivity to places where farming was once impossible.
Whether for large-scale agriculture or smaller specialty crops, combining solar power with smart farming techniques is the future of sustainable agriculture.
