With agrivoltaic farming, growing vegetables under solar panels could help feed the world's growing population and meet net-zero targets at the same time.

This practice of growing crops in the protected shadows of solar panels is called agrivoltaic farming. And it is happening right here in Canada. Such agrivoltaic farming can help meet Canada’s food and energy needs and reduce its fossil fuel reliance and greenhouse gas emissions in the future.

On a humid, overcast day in central Minnesota, a dozen researchers crouch in the grass between rows of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels. Only their bright yellow hard hats are clearly visible above the tall, nearly overgrown prairie grasses—which are growing exactly as expected.

Agrivoltaics systems are adaptable to a wide range of crops, but those with lower light requirements, such as leafy greens, herbs and certain fruits and vegetables, may be particularly well-suited for cultivation under solar panels, maximizing land productivity and energy generation potential.
