Agrisolar Co-location on California Farmland

under study/research

A study led by Michigan State University analyzed satellite images of California farmland, showing that farmers who installed solar panels on small parts of their land made more money per acre while continuing to farm. The project promotes installing solar panels in less productive crop areas to generate clean energy and save on farming costs, supporting a co-location method of growing crops alongside solar panels. This approach leads to more stable income, reduced farming expenses, and water savings in drought-prone areas like California's Central Valley.
