On a co-located solar farm, runoff from water used to clean photovoltaic panels would nourish agave or other biofuel crops. The plants would in turn provide ground cover, helping prevent dust buildup that decreases solar panel efficiency. (Courtesy Sujith Ravi)
Stanford scientists model a win-win situation: growing crops on photovoltaic farms

A new model for solar farms that “co-locates” crops and solar panels could result in
