Illinois community solar farm will produce hay alongside solar power
Original: Illinois community solar farm will produce renewable energy and hay
A new community solar farm in Illinois is designed to serve two purposes: generating renewable energy for local subscribers and allowing hay to be grown on the land beneath and around the panels. The dual-use approach, often called agrivoltaics, lets farmers keep working the soil while clean power is produced. The project highlights growing interest in combining agriculture with solar development across the Midwest.
Why now: Agrivoltaics projects that pair farming with clean energy are attracting attention amid growth in community solar
