Agrivoltaics is short for agricultural photovoltaics and is the practice of using the same parcel of land for both solar energy generation and agricultural activity, such as grazing, growing crops, or supporting pollinator habitats. Grazing Sheep, cows, or other grazing animals. . Through the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, New York's Renewable Energy goals have increased demand for land to site solar and wind projects, with farmland being the first-choice site for solar. From crop production to livestock grazing and pollinator habitat, agrivoltaics can support a wide range of agriculture practices. Photo by Dennis Schroeder / NREL.
