DOE InSPIRE
August 28, 2018 - NREL researchers Jordan Macknick and Paul Torcelini, and UMass professor Stephen Herbert survey the test plot at the UMass Crop Animal Research and Education Center in South Deerfield MA. They are working with teams from UMASS Clean Energy Extension and Hyperion on a photovoltaic dual-use research project, simultaneously growing crops under PV Arrays while producing electricity. The project is part of the DOE InSPIRE project seeking to improve the environmental compatibility and mutual benefits of solar development with agriculture and native landscapes.
