BlueWaver Jesse Robertson-DuBois sat down with John Fitzgerald Weaver to discuss how agrivoltaics should be the default option in our industry. “Building trust with the community, understanding the farm, and putting real projects in the field – with real challenges being solved – that are [spread over] tens of acres is how Bluewave is moving forward in agrivoltaics,” Robertson-DuBois stated.

This year, Joseph Seman-Graves joined the BlueWave team to help advance our New York portfolio with a particular focus on our floatovoltaics (AKA floating solar) projects! Did you know that floating solar is typically installed on artificial or man-made bodies of water? With this approach, we're able to maximize space utilization and leverage existing infrastructure to help us meet our shared clean energy goals.

Last month, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) announced that $5 million is now available for agrivoltaics projects in the state which is promising for the expansion of innovative solar practices. As a leader in dual-use development, we're eager to see how sustainable land management practices will promote solar in the state.

We want to give a shoutout to the Solar Farm Summit for another terrific event! It was an honor to speak about our passion — agrivoltaics! — alongside other industry leaders who are helping to shape the future of solar development. Seeing the growth of dual-use and soaring interest from farmers, community members, and industry experts over the last decade is truly inspiring. We're committed to bringing that same passion with us in our everyday work and ensuring dual-use is at the forefront of our energy future.

We’re proud to take part in the growth of community solar as solar energy is offered to renters and residents of multi-family buildings. Learn more on how greater accessibility to community solar is empowering residents with research from Berkeley Lab and The National Renewable Energy Laboratory in this piece from Canary Media Inc.
Community solar is becoming a popular way to broaden solar energy access and tackle equity issues. For the first time ever, new evidence from Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory indicates that it's making a meaningful difference. Another great takeaway from the research is that community solar significantly expands access to solar energy, particularly among renters and residents of multifamily buildings, who are 6.1 times more likely to adopt it, and those with lower annual incomes, who earn 23% less than rooftop solar adopters. By leveraging community solar, our team is committed to providing solar energy solutions and creating equitable access. With our five community solar projects with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts and BlueWave Solar and our project with Neighborhood Sun and Montgomery County Government, MD, we’re advancing clean energy access for all. We’re glad to see the difference it can make being documented by researchers. Learn more from Canary Media Inc.'s Alison F.

One of the projects in our Massachusetts portfolio includes hay production and last month, we were able to introduce cattle to the site who will enjoy grazing under the shade of an array. We'll continue to share updates on this project throughout the summer and into the fall during peak production – stay tuned for more and check out our website to learn about our dual-use work! https://bit.ly/45C5IhP
