Angela (Angie) Burke

With over a decade of experience in the solar industry, Angela (Angie) Burke is blazing the trail to a brighter, cleaner, and more abundant future with prodigious prowess. Honored as the 2024 North American Agrivoltaics ‘Champion of the Year’, Angie has been outspoken on the topic of agrivoltaics and is a true advocate for solar farming. Over the last three years, Pivot Energy has onboarded 86 dual-use solar sites across 8 states. There are now thousands of sheep and dozens of new solar farmers digging into new opportunities under solar panels because of Angie and Pivot’s commitment to building a 100% agrivoltaics portfolio; which is becoming a reality faster than anyone might have believed possible.

You can find Angie advocating for agrivoltaics at events both large and small. She has spent countless hours hearing the stories of farmers. And she has inspired Pivot to be open minded to other agriculture innovation ideas and agritourism ideas as well.

A true leader and pioneer, Angie is best in her own words:

“These dual-use sites have positive impacts that go far beyond the array, including carbon sequestration, access to locally grown food, and improved eco-systems. The biggest impact though, is on the next generation of farmers. Little cowboys, like this one, will be able to not just survive but thrive on their family farms and solar farms. And why not thrive on both? It’s possible, and it’s definitely time, for every solar array to leverage agrivoltaics and to cultivate true dual-harvests that benefit us all.”
