How solar and agriculture work together

Modern agrivoltaics combine solar panels with productive agricultural land use, leveraging advanced solar technology to support reliable power generation for farm operations, allowing farms to generate renewable energy while maintaining crop production or livestock operations. Through careful system design and co-location strategies, solar agriculture becomes a long-term asset for farmers. Bright Eye Solar designs and installs solar panels for agriculture projects that support operational efficiency and long-term stability.

The benefits of agrivoltaics for farmers

Integrating solar and agriculture strengthens farm resilience while creating predictable energy savings and new revenue streams.

Energy

Reduce farm electricity costs

Solar can offset electricity used by irrigation, barns, refrigeration, pumps, ventilation, and other equipment. Farms benefit from stable solar energy production using proven solar technology, delivering long-term benefits of solar energy such as predictable operating costs and energy independence, while reducing reliance on utility rate volatility.

Make better use of available space

Solar can be installed on suitable agricultural buildings, rooftops, or ground-mounted locations depending on your property and energy needs. This co-location approach can allow land to support both solar generation and agricultural activities when the site and system are appropriately designed.

Revenue

Explore additional revenue opportunities

Depending on the project, location, and system structure, agricultural solar may provide opportunities for energy savings, renewable energy credits, or other financial benefits.

Agriculture

Supporting crop & livestock operations

Shade provided by rows of solar panels can help manage soil moisture and reduce heat stress for certain crops and livestock. Farms may continue growing crops or enable livestock grazing around solar panels, supporting sustainable land management.

Monitoring & support

Once the system is operational, you can monitor its production and energy performance.

Yes. Suitable barns and agricultural buildings can often provide excellent space for solar, subject to roof condition, structural considerations, orientation, and other site factors.
Yes. A properly sized system can help offset electricity used by irrigation pumps and other farm equipment.
Potentially. Ground-mounted and agrivoltaic systems may be options depending on the property, local requirements, land use, and project design.
Certain solar designs can accommodate livestock grazing. The appropriate design depends on the animals, site, panel configuration, and farm's operations.
Potential incentives can include federal commercial solar incentives, depreciation, SRECs, and agricultural programs such as USDA REAP, depending on the project and eligibility.
Savings depend on electricity usage, utility rates, system size, solar production, financing, and other factors. A site-specific analysis is the best way to estimate potential savings.
