(Because of Thanksgiving this event was moved to a Tuesday.)

Agrivoltaics – the practice of planting crops in the partial shade of raised racks of solar panels – is a heavily researched endeavor with broad applications. It is raising justified expectations among farmers to add a lucrative income stream producing clean power while simultaneously increasing yields for certain cash crops.
Talking about opportunities and limitations of this dual-land-use concept is Colorado Department of Agriculture energy manager Sam Anderson who shares from his vast project experience in both Colorado, the nation, and abroad.

Please plan to stay for a reception with food, drinks, and conversations afterwards. This event is FREE, but you're welcome to put a donation in the basket.
