Agrivoltaics: Solar and Agriculture - Aug 2026

📅 28 August 2026 – 29 August 2026 | 📍 Madison County, Ohio, Madison County, United States

This event has been canceled.

Madison Fields Solar Project (MFSP) has become one of the first operating utility-scale solar sites to intentionally integrate forage crop production. This site includes actively testing and growing forage crops, including hay and alfalfa, along with soil health, precision agriculture, and complementary grazing between the rows of solar panels. Over the next 35-40 years, MFSP is expected to produce enough energy to power approximately 38,000 Ohio homes annually. The Ohio State University is involved in research at the site, being one of the few to receive a U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Department of Agriculture FARMS (Foundational Agrivoltaic Research for Megawatt Scale) grant to conduct that research.

This event is a part of the 2026 OEFFA Farm Tour Series. It is held in partnership with Farm-To-Power, Savion Renewable Energy, and The Ohio State University Extension.
