How 832 solar panels help one farm produce food, energy and extra income

A Massachusetts farmer installed 832 tracking solar panels above active berry fields.

The panels are elevated about 9.8 feet off the ground, allowing tractors to pass underneath.

The project is an example of agrivoltaics, combining agriculture with solar energy generation on the same land.

The system produces clean electricity and creates an extra income stream for the farm.

The installation was designed to minimize disruption to crops with steel footings and raised cable systems protecting plant roots.
