Quote “”France just completed the world’s largest agrivoltaic trial — installing solar panel canopies above 2,400 hectares of Provence vineyards, cereal fields, and vegetable plots, generating 500 megawatts of clean electricity from the same land producing full agricultural output. The Sun’Agri program installs tilting solar panels on 5-meter-tall structures above crops, with panel angles controlled

“”The expansion of solar energy has always carried one tension with agricultural nations that no policy document resolved cleanly: solar farms require land and farmland is finite. Germany found a way to make that tension irrelevant by installing solar panels above active crop fields in an approach called agrivoltaics where the same land produces food

Also the amount of land used to grow crops to feed livestock is a huge amount of the total farmland. Giving up eating meat is healthier and saves the planet by reducing the greenhouse gases from livestock. Just give up meat for just one day a week!

“In Germany, Farmers install solar panels above crops to simultaneously generate energy and grow food. This dual harvest approach enhances sustainability without reducing farmland.” https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0Za7xpmgcssX6pqe4upisQY9xVDH2zP6h7itFSXUHbLF27HaHq5dwZ8yXjdww7zYrl&id=100050516563145&post_id=100050516563145_pfbid0Za7xpmgcssX6pqe4upisQY9xVDH2zP6h7itFSXUHbLF27HaHq5dwZ8yXjdww7zYrl&mibextid=CDWPTG
