FAQ about farm solar systems
DO SOLAR PANELS GET HOT AND DRY OUT CROPS UNDERNEATH?
Studies show that pole-mount and rack-mount solar panels provide shade during the day and warmth at night, providing the ability to grow shade-tolerant crops. And this increased the diversification of crop selection, reduced water usage, and extended growing seasons.
CAN DOMESTICATED ANIMALS GRAZE UNDER GROUND-MOUNTED SOLAR PANELS?
Small animals, such as sheep, typically graze beneath solar panels without complications, but cattle are much larger and risk damaging equipment. Fencing around the solar panels in these cases is advised.
CAN POLLINATOR HABITATS EXIST UNDERNEATH SOLAR PANELS SYSTEMS?
Yes, pollinator-friendly solar farms plant native shrubs, grasses, and flowers beneath solar panels to provide natural bee attraction.
HOW DOES SOLAR AFFECT THE PRICE OF FOOD?
There is no evidence of alternative energy increasing or decreasing food prices. However, there is evidence that a well-planned solar installation planted with a pollinator habitat can help increase agricultural yields.
IS IT OK TO SPRAY AGROCHEMICALS AROUND SOLAR PANEL SYSTEMS?
Provided care to not spray agrochemicals directly on solar panels is taken; it is ok to spray beneath panels to prevent weed growth. If agrochemicals get on the panels, rinsing with clear water is suggested.
ARE SOLAR PANELS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO RUN MY IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT?
Yes, “agricultural solar panels” can power irrigation equipment. “Solar panels for farm buildings” and “solar power systems for barns” provide electricity for remote irrigation systems and other farming equipment.
CAN I INSTALL SOLAR PANELS ON FARMLAND THAT I LEASE?
Solar panels for farmers leasing land depends on land use ordinances and the lessee/lessor agreement.
