My Independent Research Capstone (Masters of Liberal Arts @ Harvard Extension School) aims to identify the socio-economic barriers to eco/agrivoltaic development with a focus on stakeholder economic drivers. I’ve identified key MUST DOs to create sustainable communities:

• Decarbonize the energy grid through renewable energy development with urgency

• Transition to regenerative farming practices

• Use equitable financial models that benefit farmers, ranchers, rural and tribal communities through the renewable energy transition

• Want to know more about eco/agrivoltaics? Check out NREL’s InSPIRE study on the 5Cs of Agrivoltaic Success and the NCAT’s Agrisolar Clearinghouse website
