“”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

There are 700 acres of crops under the solar panels. 😍👍 https://www.facebook.com/reel/1451693053143891/?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e
“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

The Chinese rural folk in Guizhou are benefitting from the farms and jobs. The farmers are getting paid for the use of their land. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02FACPr5ynWg456ZkN5exRc1DY31rirMeteCNnzbDjhKPDUv9VRinFHJSxqqkKXURnl&id=100050306297601&post_id=100050306297601_pfbid02FACPr5ynWg456ZkN5exRc1DY31rirMeteCNnzbDjhKPDUv9VRinFHJSxqqkKXURnl&mibextid=6yaNxA Another short about solar in China. Says 70% of electricity in China is supplied by these solar panels. They’re plowing the desert to install solar panels. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1940260953385737/?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e

This cannon is used in a vinyard and the shockwave is so powerful it disrupts the formation of hail stones. I’m seeing a lot of badmouthing solar panels that got broken by hail. Well, here is a possible preventive solution. https://www.facebook.com/reel/344539995276131?mibextid=9drbnH
Very short article. Ohio’s largest solar farm will be the largest US agrivoltaics project. The Oak Run Solar Project is 800 MW, with 300 MW battery storage. Ohio’s largest solar farm will also be the US’s largest agrivoltaics project
Andreas Lindström This “realclearinvestigations” article is full of lies and hypocrisies. Quote from article:“”Hyped as technological marvels, EVs are boobytrapped with a host of inconveniences and tradeoffs. By now many people have heard about range anxiety, exploding lithium-ion batteries, and the environmental destruction caused by global mining for battery minerals.”” Last first. The amount of

Dave @ JHAT discusses photovoltaic thermal panels and a system by Sunova. The panels are kept cooler and can last much longer – fifty years. My patron comment: The solar water heater panels have been in use for many decades, since before 1980. I’ve often thought that solar PV should be sandwiched with these solar
