JACK'S SOLAR GARDEN
In Boulder County, off of North 95th St, over 3,200 solar panels creates a 1.2 MW community solar garden—enough to power over 300 homes. Jack’s Solar Garden is a national model for governments, solar developers and farmers for how to produce renewable energy while continuing agricultural production via agrivoltaics. Agrivoltaics is the co-location of agriculture and solar energy infrastructure whereby the microclimates created by the solar panels provide benefits to the vegetation or animals beneath and around them. Jack’s Solar Garden is the largest commercially active research site for agrivoltaics in the USA!
