ST. PAUL — University of Minnesota Extension will host a free agrivoltaics webinar, “Keeping the farm in ‘solar farm’: Agrivoltaic logistics,” at 7 p.m. July 14.
Solar energy sites on rural landscapes are raising concerns about taking agricultural land out of production, but they can be developed to prioritize ag production, known as agrivoltaics. Building an agrivoltaic site is a logistical puzzle involving specialized site prep, complex operations management, and long-term land stewardship.

Representatives from Pivot Energy and Solar Collective are the guest speakers. They will discuss agrivoltaics from a solar developer’s perspective, moving beyond the “why” and diving into the “how” of designing, permitting and operating projects where solar and soil work in tandem.
The webinar is designed for farmers, solar developers, landowners, government officials and ag professionals interested in the future of dual-use land management.
