Our mission is to grow commercial crop and livestock agrivoltaics in the United States.
What is agrivoltaics?
SAFA recognizes the Baldwin–Grassley draft legislative definition of the term “agrivoltaics” as: “a system under which solar energy production and agricultural production, including crop or animal production, occurs in an integrated manner on the same piece of land through the duration of a solar project.”
-
Policies & Programs
The U.S. needs policies and programs at the federal level in support of AgPV. SAFA will be contracted with a federal lobbying team that has been working on AgPV policy for the last year. We have met with senators, representatives, agency technical staff, and aligned organizations.
-
Advocacy
There is a significant opportunity to advocate for the enactment of federal policies that accelerate the clean energy transition while safeguarding productive farmland, enhancing farm income, and increasing energy resilience and independence.
-
Trusted Representatives
We are laying the groundwork for an AgPV tax incentive, will respond to state level policy needs, and act as a trusted representative of the AgPV industry. We prioritize responsible solar siting, robust agriculture and livestock production integrated with solar, and incentivizing the uptake and adoption of agrivoltaics.
