NJ’s $2M Agrivoltaics Study Advances
BPU Still Mulling Rules for Pilot Dual-use Program
Bi-facial solar panels similar to these made by Next2Sun in Germany, with electricity generating cells on both sides, will be part of a study into agrivoltatics to be started in April by the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES). The panels will be spaced far enough apart for farm equipment to easily pass between them and cows will graze at the same location.
