Solar & Renewable Energy: "Harvesting the Sky"
By 2026, the friction between "food vs. fuel" has birthed Agrivoltaics—dual-use solar that works with your farming operation.
Get StartedHow It Works
Lease less-productive or "marginal" acres for utility-scale solar arrays or wind turbines. Modern solar installations can coexist with agricultural operations through agrivoltaics—allowing you to generate energy revenue while continuing to farm or graze.
The 2026 Reality
Agrivoltaics
New 2026 USDA/DOE initiatives (like the LASSO Prize) provide extra incentives for solar arrays designed for cattle grazing or shade-grown crops underneath the panels.
REAP Grants
The Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) now offers grants covering up to 50% of total project costs for on-farm solar used for the farm's own power needs.
The "Clean Lease"
Modern leases often include "Decommissioning Bonds" to ensure the company—not the producer—removes the panels in 25 years.
