Solar Arrays: A Sustainable Solution for Drought-Resilient Grasslands

As highlighted by FarmProgress, new findings from Colorado State University and Cornell University show that solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays can significantly support grassland ecosystems, especially during drought periods. The panels create shaded zones that help reduce soil evaporation, retain ground moisture, and moderate temperature extremes.

Notably, in drought conditions, biomass under solar panels increased by more than 90% compared to uncovered land. This innovative land-use model—sometimes called "agrivoltaics"—opens the door to sustainable agriculture practices that align clean energy with food and forage production.

Solar-Powered Sprayers: Enhancing the Benefits of Photovoltaic Agriculture

While solar arrays help conserve water naturally, pairing them with solar-powered sprayers unlocks even greater potential. At Pandora, we offer 16-liter solar backpack sprayers that bring water efficiency and mobility together in a clean energy solution.
