What an incredible outcome from our recent 2nd California Germany Agrivoltaics Conference (#CGAV24). We successfully convened farmers, agricultural and #solar experts, along with #agrivoltaics pioneers, to delve into the world of combining #farming with solar projects. The day was filled with enlightening presentations and engaging discussions, and here are some pivotal insights: ?? Climate change is increasingly affecting California agriculture, with rising temperatures and extreme heat impacting both crop yields and quality. ?? Agrivoltaics emerges as a promising solution, combining solar energy production with agriculture to mitigate climate impacts and diversify farmer income. This approach not only shields crops from excessive sun but also conserves water and improves conditions for farm workers. ???? Germany is leading the way in agrivoltaic technology, supported by new regulations that facilitate its adoption on farmlands. ?????California aims to protect 770,000 acres of working lands by 2045 while pursuing 100% renewable energy goals. ? Challenges such as regulatory hurdles, high setup costs, and ensuring that small farmers have equitable access are still prevalent. ???? Success requires targeted local discussions and collaboration between farmers, communities, solar developers, and policymakers. New experts who understand both the agricultural and the solar factors are highly in demand to further scale the development of agrivoltaics.? ???Ongoing research focuses on crop-specific impacts, microclimate effects, and optimizing agricultural practices with solar installations.? ?? By fostering transatlantic collaboration, our goal is to increase the awareness of sustainability and scale agrivoltaics for a greener future. We want to extend our gratitude?to all our extraordinary speakers and moderators to make this conference so educational and engaging: Oliver Schramm, Helene Dillard, Tawny Mata, Heinz Bernhardt, Tapan Pathak, Isaya Kisekka, Kathleen Ave, @Zheng Wang, Knowledge Murphy, Shamim Ahamed, PhD, Andre Daccache, Ian Skor, PE, Matthias B.
