Agrivoltaics in California: Growing Food & Generating Clean Energy

Wed, Sep 16, 12:00 AM
From ClimateLink
4.8

California is working to meet ambitious clean energy goals while protecting productive farmland and managing increasingly scarce water resources. Could agrivoltaics—combining solar energy generation with agriculture—help address all three? Join us for a conversation with **Michelle Cox, Program Manager at HARVEST California**, exploring the rapidly evolving agrivoltaics landscape in California. Moderated by **Emmet Murphy**, the discussion will look at how dual-use solar can support farming, water resilience, and California’s clean energy transition. We’ll explore: * What current research tells us about impacts on crops, water use, biodiversity, and farm resilience. * Lessons from California research and commercial projects, as well as experience elsewhere in the U.S. and internationally. * How agrivoltaics could help California navigate the intersection of **food, energy, and water**. * Policy, economic, and practical barriers to adoption—and what it will take to responsibly scale. Whether you work in agriculture, energy, climate technology, research, policy, or investing—or are simply curious about innovative climate solutions—join us to explore the potential of producing renewable energy while keeping California farms productive and resilient. **Agenda** * 5:00 - 5:30 Check-in and networking * 5:30 - 6:30 Presentation and Q/A * 6:30 - 7:00 Open networking ​**About 9Zero:** We’re a members-only community of founders, investors, scientists, and innovators accelerating climate solutions through meaningful relationships.
