They are working with teams from UMass Clean Energy Extension and Hyperion on a photovoltaic dual-use research project, simultaneously growing crops under PV arrays while producing electricity from the panels. The project is part of the DOE InSPIRE initiative seeking to improve the environmental compatibility and mutual benefits of solar development with agriculture and native landscapes.
