We’re excited to invite you to the next SCAPES Virtual Open House on Wednesday, July 16, from 12:00 to 1:00 PM CST on Zoom.
After the great feedback from our past events, we’re back with a new session—this time focusing on real-world stories from the field. You’ll hear how agrivoltaics is being put into action, what’s working, what’s tough, and what’s next.
This session is perfect for farmers, researchers, policy folks, and anyone interested in clean energy and smart land use.
Our featured speakers:
- Byron Kominek , Executive Director of Jack’s Solar Garden, turned his family farm into the largest agrivoltaic research site in the U.S.
- Christopher Kline , Development Manager at Doral Renewables, leads work on Mammoth Solar—the biggest solar project in the Western Hemisphere.
They’ll each share short talks, real-life lessons, and answer your questions in a live Q&A.
Your host is Dennis Bowman, Extension Lead of the USDA-NIFA-funded SCAPES project.
