The war against solar power is erupting in rural counties across the US, but the solar industry has a new weapon in hand. A mounting pile of evidence has emerged to support agrivoltaic solar arrays as an effective way to benefit crops and preserve insect populations, too. New York State, for one, has seen enough to make the case for a new $5 million program to kickstart the agrivoltaic revolution all over the US.<\/p>\n

Agrivoltaic Solar Arrays To Save The Insects<\/h3>\n

In the early days of rural solar development, solar panels were relatively expensive and little attention was paid to the ground underneath the panels. Now the panels are less expensive and researchers are finding evidence that solar arrays can be designed to preserve the ground below for farming, leading to the emergence of a new…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
