Thoughts - musings on solar panels and renewable energy

This page is for thoughts and ideas about solar and the environment in general.  I'm passionate about solar and think and read about it daily.  This will be a space for these thoughts.

Solar Agriculture?

This innovative use of existing agricultural land is breathing new life into existing small farms in Europe and the USA. According to the study linked above, there are lots of crops that do well growing under solar panels such as wheat, potatoes, beans, kale, tomatoes, Swiss chard, and others. The solar panel canopy can also extend the growing season by creating warmers microclimates in the spring and fall and cooler temperatures in the summer.

So why not add some solar panels to your farm in Durango? Even if you don’t grow kale or have a drove of donkeys to feed, you can still farm a little sunshine!
