Description

The Energy Farm brought new life to a 15 kwh Solar array that was originally on the Building Research Council building which was demolished. These 3 arrays are now an agrivoltaic research site located on the Energy Farm. A live dashboard of the array displays real time energy information.

These arrays were used in 2023 to test row cropping, but as of the 2024 season have been utilized for consumer crops like tomatoes and kale.
