August 29, 2018 - UMASS professor Stephen Herbert harvests kale growing under PV arrays at a test plot at the UMass Crop Animal Research and Education Center in South Deerfield MA. NREL researcher Jordan Macknick is working with teams from UMASS Clean Energy Extension and Hyperion on a photovoltaic dual-use research project at the site. The project is researching simultaneously growing crops under PV Arrays while producing electricity and is part of the DOE InSPIRE project seeking to improve the environmental compatibility and mutual benefits of solar development with agriculture and native landscapes.
