Connecting businesses, land managers, and researchers with trusted resources to support the growth of co-located solar and sustainable agriculture

About AgriSolar

The AgriSolar Clearinghouse is an information-sharing, relationship-building, public communications hub for all things agrisolar. The AgriSolar Clearinghouse:

  • Connects farmers, graziers, developers, researchers, and the public,
  • Collaborates on sustainable agrisolar opportunities,
  • Provides practical technical assistance, 
  • Develops best practices and innovative solutions, and
  • Celebrates the agrisolar community.
The co-location of solar and agriculture is a climate solution that can save water, build the soil, produce healthy, high-yielding crops, increase pollinator habitat, provide new income for existing farms and land access to beginning farmers, and improve the resilience of rural communities.
“There’s a wonderful space here where we can all work together and we can do this to the mutual benefit of the land and of energy.” — Dr. Stacie Peterson, NCAT Energy Services Director.
