PLP solar mounting + Minnesota dairy cows = the largest agrivoltaic installation in the U.S. Midwest. Agrivoltaics combines solar energy generation with shade for livestock and crops to produce higher yields and diversify farmers' incomes. The University of Minnesota is leading the charge with extensive research and support for this new concept, and we are excited to be a part of their latest installation at the University of Minnesota Morris campus. #RenewableEnergy #Solar #Agriculture
