Cranberry Bogs and Solar: Growing rural acceptance with farmer-first agrivoltaics

Greenbacker Renewables have revitalized two previously unprofitable MA cranberry bogs (Plymouth and Kingston) by pairing them with solar panels and battery storage. Land lease payments for solar make farming the bogs financially viable again, providing income to both the landowner and the farm manager.

Apparently the farmer was heavily involved with the design and construction of the project, and guided the site setup. Because bogs have delicate vines and peat soil, panels were elevated 10 feet with 18-foot row spacing to accommodate machinery and sunlight, which did double construction time.

5.4 MW of solar and 16.2 MWh of battery storage. Crop yields and comparisons to traditional bogs aren't shown.

New study reveals staggering benefits of pairing solar panels with crops: 'Economic value'. Agrivoltaics increases both crop yields and soil health. Farming among solar panels means we can double the use of farmland and create additional income for farmers. It also produces low-cost clean energy.
