Introduction
This guidance document provides information for both farmers and developers considering solar development on farmland. This guide provides an overview of the site-specifc planning and implementation steps needed to build an agrivoltaic project on your farm. The CT Department of Agriculture (DOAG) recommends siting solar on non-farmland, agricultural infrastructure and unclassified farmland soils not currently in production or fallow. This practice, also known as agrivoltaics or dual-use solar, involves locating agricultural production, such as crops, livestock, or pollinator habitats, underneath solar panels or between rows of solar panels.
