SolarEdge Technologies, Inc., a global leader in smart energy technology, has been chosen by Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, for a pioneering research and demonstration program exploring dual-use agrivoltaics across the state. The initiative, part of the NJBPU-administered Dual-Use Solar Energy Pilot Program, spans three years with a 200 MW capacity. Rutgers’ program encompasses three sites: Rutgers Animal Farm in New Brunswick (170 kWDC), Snyder Research and Extension Farm in Pittstown (94.5 kWDC), and Rutgers Agricultural Research and Extension Center in Bridgeton (255 kWDC). Each site tests different panel mounting methods to analyze impacts on agricultural yield and energy generation efficiency, employing Module Level Power Electronics (MLPE) for precise energy assessment.
