“”In 2025, the world added an incredible 605 gigawatts of new solar capacity, according to the International Energy Agency. To put that into perspective, it was the largest single year addition of any energy technology in history. This record breaking growth was fueled by falling solar panel costs, expanding manufacturing, and massive deployment across countries

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

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
