AgriSolar Clearinghouse

The AgriSolar Clearinghouse is a nationwide hub developed by the National Center for Appropriate Technology to connect businesses, landowners, and researchers with trusted resources to support the growth of co-located solar and sustainable agriculture, also known as agrivoltaic development.  

By 2030, solar installations are expected to cover more than 3 million acres of land in the United States. Today, most of those installations sit on top of stripped, single-use land. Expanding agrivoltaics on solar-appropriate lands will allow agricultural and solar producers to maximize the use of land, increasing pollinator habitat, diversifying ecosystem services, and increasing revenue.  

​NCAT’s team of energy engineers and sustainable agriculture specialists, along with a national network of partners, have developed the Clearinghouse to facilitate peer-to-peer networks, engage stakeholders, and provide individualized technical assistance.
