As land-use conflicts, economic pressures on rural communities, and the need for climate resilience intensify, agrivoltaics offers a promising solution by enabling the dual-use of land for both farming and solar energy production. The agrivoltaics summit aimed to define strategies for collaboration between industry and state agencies to support agrivoltaics during the renewable energy transition, explore opportunities and challenges from diverse perspectives, and establish a network dedicated to evaluating and advancing agrivoltaics opportunities relevant to Virginia stakeholders.Pages 1-1212 page(s)application/pdfenIn CopyrightReportHall, Ralph [0000-0003-4788-0976]
