How Solar and Agriculture can Coexist & Thrive, Hybrid Event, December 2, Golden, Colorado
Event Description
Agrivoltaics – the practice of planting crops in the partial shade of raised racks of solar panels – is a heavily researched endeavor with broad applications. It is raising justified expectations among farmers to add a lucrative income stream producing clean power while simultaneously increasing yields for certain cash crops.
Talking about opportunities and limitations of this dual-land-use concept is Colorado Department of Agriculture energy manager Sam Anderson, who shares from his vast project experience in Colorado, the nation, and abroad.
Sam Anderson, CEM, is the Energy Specialist and Program Manager for the ACRE3 energy grants program at the Colorado Department of Agriculture. Sam began working as an energy engineer in 1999, conducting extensive research and analysis and shaping policy on a wide array of renewable energy, biofuels, and energy efficiency technologies.
