University of Maryland Extension
Are you interested in installing solar photovoltaics (PV) on your farm? If so, you’ll want to join this free webinar series, designed to help farmers, landowners, and ag service providers across the state address the opportunities and challenges associated with on-farm solar PV.
Many farms in Maryland are considering solar PV due to high energy costs, the decreasing cost of solar technology and various environmental benefits. For these reasons and more, farmers and landowners across the state are considering small-scale installations to support their operations and/or leasing their land for large-scale solar installations.
This series explores the basic principles of solar PV technology and the application of appropriate on-farm technology. The information and resources provided in this webinar series will help you to sustainably implement solar PV on your farm.
Live training sessions will run weekly on Wednesdays from 1:00 pm-2:00 pm from September 30 through December 2. No session will beheld on Thanksgiving week (November 25). Participants are encouraged to join the live presentations as they occur, however, all presentations will be recorded for later viewing. Presentations will be conducted on Zoom with other educational materials made available through this webpage. Each module will be presented live by University and Extension experts. All training sessions are free.
