Agrivoltaics and Ecovoltaics

Agrivoltaics and ecovoltaics are multibenefit land repurposing strategies that offer economic and ecological benefits. They can reduce groundwater pumping near disadvantaged communities, contribute to an equitable clean energy transition, and create job opportunities.

This fact sheet details benefits, key ideas for implementation—including a focus on costs, funding sources, and permitting—and recommendations. Farmers, land managers, and others can use it to discuss land repurposing options with communities, conservation practitioners, project proponents, and block grantees participating in the Multibenefit Land Repurposing Program or other land repurposing programs.
