ST. PAUL — Across the country, extensive research is underway to keep agricultural land in production while developing it for solar energy. These dual-use “agrivoltaic” systems involve studying everything from panel-created microclimates and soil health protection to capital investments and livestock and crop performance under solar arrays.
To highlight current findings, University of Minnesota Extension will host the August session of its Agrivoltaics webinar series, “Dual Yield: Agrivoltaics Research Insights,” at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25.

The session features leading experts in agrivoltaics research, including Jordan Macknick, lead Energy-Water-Land analyst at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and Brad Heins, Professor of Dairy Management at the University of Minnesota. They will share their research to date on dual-use land systems and discuss their vision for the future of agrivoltaics.
This free webinar is designed for farmers, solar developers, landowners, government officials, and ag professionals interested in dual-use land management. This session will offer practical, evidence-based insights.
The program is free to attend. Pre-registration is required to access the zoom link at z.umn.edu/avresearchwebinar
