University of Georgia’s Ongoing Solar Farming Field Work

Plug into the 3rd installment in our livestream previewing the Georgia Solar Farm Summit and featuring a powerful first-person perspective from the front lines of applied, interdisciplinary agrivoltaics research from a leading researcher at one of our foremost land grant universities, Professor Bodie Pennisi from the University of Georgia! A live audience participated in a dynamic discussion about the University of Georgia’s ongoing work to bring together faculty and students across ecology, agricultural science, engineering, law, and the humanities to study agrivoltaics. We previewed the robust educational and social program coming to the inaugural Georgia Solar Farm Summit being hosted at and by the University of Georgia in Athens, and learned about Professor Pennisi’s journey into the study of agrivoltaics, the University of Georgia’s exciting work, and what the bright future of agrivoltaic solar development could entail. How much leg work is being done by our land-grant universities? How has it been to work with private sector parts on the front lines of integrated agriculture + energy innovation? Are students getting excited about agrivoltaics? Listen in to Solar Farm Summit founder, Dan French, and University of Georgia Professor in the College of Agricultural & Environmental Sciences, and Vincent J. Dooley Endowed Chair of Ornamental Horticulture, Bodie Pennisi for this timely discussion asking these questions and much more about the multidimensional and interdisciplinary approach UGA is deploying to develop our working agrivoltaics knowledge! Re-watch Part 1 wherein SFS Founder and macro strategist, Dan French, reverse engineers the case for agrivoltaics and ecovoltaics (AgPV) development and works backwards from the energy, environment and agribusiness dynamics roiling global markets on YouTube here:    • Achieving Harmony Between Agriculture & Cl...   Re-watch Part 2 wherein Dan recaps Part 1, matches AgPV’s multifunctional in field performance to physical on farm problems, such as drought resilience, frost resilience, and hail protection, and then brings on Green Power EMC Director of Origination Thatcher Young for a dynamic discussion about matching the macro agrivoltaics opportunity to Georgia’s farms and farm communities on YouTube here:    • Answering the Ag & Energy Emergencies + Ag...   Learn more about farming + solar in general and agrivoltaics in Georgia at: https://georgiasolarfarmsummit.com/
