Listening Session: Siting & Design for Farm-Based Solar
Many groups are making recommendations for where utility-scale solar arrays should (or shouldn’t) be placed. But what would farmers like to see? And what are the considerations for siting solar on farms in a way that doesn’t disrupt agricultural production? In this webinar you’ll hear from a panel including a farmer who has successfully integrated solar on his operation and representatives from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
