Agrivoltatics market represents an unprecented Investment Opportunity!
Agrivoltaics creates synergies at the intersection of food, energy, water and soil, the the FEWS. These interdependent components that, together, are the core elements on Earth.
In these times that we collectively face a multi-crisis, in Energy crisis, widespread drought and structural challenges in the agricultural sector, Agrivoltaics is a multifunctional solution.
APV creates win-win outcomes across many sectors, increasing crop production, reducing water loss, improving soil health, better efficiency of solar arrays. Adopting such synergistic paths forward can help build resilient food-production, energy-generation systems and healthy ecosystems.

Agrivoltaics Market Potential
According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), by 2050, solar could cover almost 10 million acres of land in the United States.
In the Sustainability paper, 13,000 square miles, or 1% of current U.S. farmland. agrivoltaics to meet 20% of U.S. electricity generation.
The cost of the agrivoltaic arrays would be $1.12 trillion over a 35-year project life. With projected 17 years to payback the $1.12 trillion.
