Solar and agriculture have one thing in common: they both need sunlight. Oftentimes, this puts them on opposing sides, competing for land space. However, what if solar and agriculture could live together? 

In this episode of Watt’s Up, Wisconsin?, we explore the field of agriculture and photovoltaics, known as agrivoltaics and the possibilities in WI. We speak to UW-Madison’s Henry Hundt and Josh Arnold about the future of agrivoltaic research in Wisconsin.
