Solar and agriculture do not have to be mutually exclusive. Work across North America and around the globe has proven that farming, pollinator habitat, and other conservation practices can be co-located – in a way that is mutually beneficial.

Farmer Byron Kominek
At Jack’s Solar Garden, the family farm of Byron Kominek located in Colorado, solar panels generate enough electricity to power 300 homes to use in a year. The installation was designed in a way that not only allows production of specialty crops, but also decreases plant stress and increases water use efficiencies. They have also discovered that plant evapotranspiration actually keeps the solar panels cooler – making them more efficient.
