Sol Systems partners with AFT initiative

Sol Systems collaborates with the American Farmland Trust (AFT) to promote environmentally friendly solar energy projects. Their “Smart Solar” initiative aims to minimize environmental impacts while enhancing ecosystem-focused practices at solar sites. The partnership will leverage AFT’s expertise in sustainable agriculture to improve land stewardship across Sol Systems’ utility-scale portfolio. Over the next four years, Sol System will develop solar sites across the Midwest, with a 2,000-acre research partnership to test soil health and beneficial vegetation impacts. Agrivoltaics projects, such as a 37-acre site in Illinois cultivating Kernza, will demonstrate the benefits of combining agriculture with solar energy.
