FARMS Report

As part of a 2 year project funded under the U.S. Department of Energy’s FARMS program, SI2 and project partners are studying barriers to agrivoltaics and developing recommendations to overcome them.

Solar Market Insight Report

U.S. Solar Market Insight® is a quarterly publication of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA)® and Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables.

Flexible Interconnection

This report found that for some community solar projects, flexible interconnection provides 176% more revenue over the lifetime of the project than under other scenarios.

600+

agrivolatic sites are currently operating in the U.S. with grazing, crop productive, pollinator habitats, greenhouses, and more.

45%

gigawatts of solar installations are expected to be installed over the next decade, more than tripling current installations.

70%

of farmers are open to large-scale solar on farmland, as long as the farmland can remain productive.

2,600

gigawatts of generation and storage projects are currently awaiting approval in interconnection queues.

Siting and Permitting

The solar and storage industry is growing at an exponential pace. Experts at SI2 are supporting this progress with cutting-edge research focused on addressing existing barriers and opening new pathways for project deployment 

Model Policy

SI2 is at the forefront of identifying evidence-based policy solutions to address the systemic challenges facing the solar and storage industry and that reflect individual communities’ and stakeholders’ needs.

Interconnection

The ability to connect solar and storage systems to the grid quickly and efficiently is essential to scaling solar projects across the nation. SI2 is actively working to streamline the interconnection process.

Agrivoltaics

As solar continues to expand, farmland has become an attractive option for project siting. By integrating solar with agriculture, farms across the country demonstrate how agrivoltaics benefit their operations and local economies.
