☑️ Agrivoltaics is a fresh, thriving practice that creatively blends conventional agriculture and solar power production. ☑️ Agrivoltaics projects, like the successful cattle grazing and solar power generation in Massachusetts, show the feasibility of this idea and generate interest in it among other states. ☑️ Combining solar power with various crops, such as soybean and sweet corn, allows for increased productivity and efficiency. Agrivoltaics, or combining traditional farming with solar power generation, has been steadily gaining traction in the renewable energy sector. This concept, central to the work of many solar companies, exhibits the potential benefits of coexisting farming and power generation rather than treating them as competing land uses. Despite the mixed public opinion on large solar plants, this approach has shown significant promise, exemplified by multiple successful projects in Massachusetts that combined cattle grazing with solar power generation, proving advantageous for both agriculture and energy sectors. Other states such as New Jersey and New York are also exploring similar initiatives, reflecting the growing interest in this sustainable model. Furthermore, the integration of solar power with various crops, including soybeans and grains like wheat, barley, and oats, presents exciting opportunities for overlapping productivity. However, agrivoltaics' success hinges on respecting and accommodating the needs of local communities and environmental considerations.

Community solar projects are delivering real value to local economies. Recent data from Maine shows almost $30 million in net value generated through distributed solar initiatives - and that's just the beginning. Let's break down why this matters: → Price Stability While traditional energy sources remain vulnerable to global market volatility, community solar offers predictable, stable pricing. Think locally produced, locally consumed energy that's insulated from international supply chain disruptions. → Energy Access The beauty of community solar? It's not just for property owners. Local businesses, nonprofits, and residents in multi-family housing can all benefit from clean energy savings - no rooftop required. Maine’s NEB (Community Solar) program is one of the more established in the country and continues to be revised (3 times in the last 4 years) to better serve the state. Solar currently only makes up 5% of Maine’s electrical costs - meaning there is room to grow. Community solar can be a key factor in combatting the significant electric price spikes being seen in Maine. *** Read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/epRXmcff

POLICY UPDATE: MASSACHUSETTS COMMERCIAL SOLAR Good news for your Massachusetts properties! Massachusetts solar projects now have higher roof lease incomes, shorter payback periods, and higher IRRs for commercial solar projects, due to improvements in the The Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target (SMART) program incentive structure. Our solar advisors and policy experts are looking into clients’ Massachusetts properties to calculate how the new SMART program is improving project economics. Let’s see how your Massachusetts properties can benefit. Contact SolarKal today [email protected] to better understand how you can leverage the SMART program updates for your properties.

I fully agree that #Connecticut is at a pivotal moment in the #renewableenergy transition, and we need to work toward a much stronger interagency and #publicprivatecollaboration to reduce energy costs, reduce #ghgemissions, and invest in low-income and disadvantaged communities (LIDAC) like City of Bridgeport, Connecticut The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP) with a $62.5 million grant under its #SolarforAll initiative https://lnkd.in/ejvcbzNU Connecticut’s grant application was led by DEEP in close collaboration with Connecticut Green Bank, the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA), the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority, the Connecticut Department of Housing, the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development, and others, making up “Project SunBridge: Connecting Communities to a Solar Future.” This consortium needs to capitalize on this extraordinary opportunity to deploy this #federalfunding, integrate local innovative battery energy storage system manufacturers like Cadenza Innovation, Inc. and demonstrate #cleanenergy leadership.

Transforming polluted land into revenue-generating assets is possible. CS Energy and Luminace have proven this by completing two 5 MW landfill community solar projects in Berkeley, NJ. By repurposing a closed landfill into a clean energy hub, they’re not only providing affordable solar power to local residents but also turning waste sites into long-term assets for communities. What more can be done to convert more underutilized lands into revenue-generating sustainable assets? #CommunitySolar #RenewableEnergy #SustainableDevelopment #LandfillSolar #CleanEnergy #SolarPower #GreenEnergy #CircularEconomy #EnvironmentalInnovation https://lnkd.in/enciQ8cB

Regional solar policy news to know: #RhodeIsland incentivized energy storage; funding is available for #agrivoltaic demo projects in #NewYork; and the #Massachusetts senate has passed a bill that sets solar permitting deadlines for utilities and makes it easier to purchase electric vehicles. #SolarPolicy #RhodeIslandSolar #NewYorkSolar #MassachusettsSolar #KinectSolar

ICYMI: CT DEEP has been awarded more than $62 million under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund's Solar for All program! "Project SunBridge will reach low-income and disadvantaged community households across the state of Connecticut, with a priority focus on affordable housing units, to allow for greater access to residential solar, increased resilience and grid benefits, and investments in quality jobs and businesses. The program has the potential to reach thousands of additional households through Connecticut’s existing solar and storage programs, avoiding CO2 emissions and saving Connecticut residents on energy costs. Connecticut residents will benefit from financial assistance with increased incentives, more accessible loans, and low-cost capital for solar and storage, as well as technical assistance for clean energy workforce development and community engagement. This blend of financial and technical assistance will create a sustainable funding stream for low-income and disadvantaged communities households to participate in the green economy, which will last beyond the SFA funding years, attract private investment, and drive market transformation." https://lnkd.in/gFbk7Wkc
