When considering the transition of agricultural land to solar energy production, each landowner must evaluate its feasibility. Higher revenue on a per acre basis does not always guarantee greater profit. Factors such as higher expenses, future land use, and opportunity costs may offset any potential profits.
The research also found that among farmers who have leased their land, about half expect to continue producing agricultural products on the land with solar panels – a process called agrivoltaics, which has seen a great leap in Cornell research activity.
The decision to transfer agricultural land use to solar panel electrical production (solar farms) should be made by careful examination of immediate and long-term potential risks and benefits.
