Jack's Solar Garden

Join WRISE for a 1-hour 15-minute tour of Jack's Solar Garden, the largest agrivoltaic research site of its kind in the nation. During this tour, attendees will be introduced to agrivoltaics which combines solar and agriculture and learn about its potential benefits to farmers, biodiversity, and local communities. In addition, attendees will walk among solar panels and observe plots dedicated to agrivoltaic research. We hope by the end of the tour; attendees will have an understanding of the benefits of agrivoltaics and become an advocate for agrivoltaic practices.
Some things to keep in mind before coming on the tour:
The tour will be one hour long and entirely outside on uneven surfaces. Please dress for the conditions and bring water (the site will not have potable water).
There is one non-ADA-accessible port-a-potty on site; please plan as needed.
Pets are not allowed on the site. Leashed service animals are allowed. Any participant with a service animal deemed unruly will be asked to leave.
Please arrive 10 minutes before the tour starts.
Please be careful when pulling into the driveway of Jack's Solar Garden, signal early, and drive directly to the back of the farmhouse towards the silo. Once in the back of the house, you will see a tour guide assisting you with parking.
