The rapid growth of solar projects helps to meet the demand for renewable energy and reduces our reliance on fossil fuels. However, large solar farms can have negative impacts on the environment and agriculture. They may provide little support for wildlife, exhaust the soil, decommission farmland and break generational ties to farming. But we do not have to choose between growing food and producing energy. Agrivoltaics combines farming with solar energy production, offering a way to create stronger, more resilient communities.

The Agrivoltaics Initiative invites stakeholders in the transition to renewable energy to help improve the lives of all Georgians. It aims to solve the technical, ecological, legal and agricultural challenges of solar production while addressing the need for renewable energy and preserving our state’s agricultural industry.
