How can the same land produce food, energy, and new opportunities for farmers?

Join us Wednesday, Aug. 5, at the Illinois Energy Farm in Urbana for the 2026 Agrivoltaics Field Day, a free, public event exploring how solar energy, crops and land stewardship can work together.

The morning will feature breakfast, welcome remarks, expert-led research tours and real-world examples of agrivoltaics, the integration of solar arrays with agricultural production. U. of I. researchers will highlight emerging innovations in agrivoltaics and strategies for improving land-use efficiency.
