Farmer and Rancher Perspectives on Agrivoltaics in Colorado

Through a statewide survey and a series of roundtables, American Farmland Trust (AFT), in partnership with Agrisolar Consulting, Colorado State University Extension, and Colorado Open Lands, captured the interests and concerns with agrivoltaics of Colorado producers, technical service providers, and solar developers. The project team engaged 312 producers in the survey and approximately 180 participants in roundtables to understand perceptions and barriers to participation and to inform recommendations for future agrivoltaics research, policy, and educational resources needed to accelerate adoption.

This survey report summarizes survey findings and offers initial recommendations. It is accompanied by an executive summary and additional educational resources on agrivoltaics in Colorado.
