• Remote monitoring to track performance and health from your mobile device
Our in-house engineering and installation teams have 15+ years of agricultural solar experience across Western Canada.
MAXIMIZE LAND PRODUCTIVITY
Agrivoltaics: harvest solar and crops together
Agrivoltaics is the future of farm sustainability, using the same land for both solar energy and agriculture simultaneously.
Research shows that strategic solar placement:
• Reduces water evaporation, benefiting crop yields in dry regions
• Provides shade for heat-sensitive crops and livestock
• Creates wind breaks and microclimates that enhance productivity
• Generates additional income stream without reducing arable land
Firefly Solar designs agrivoltaic systems that prioritize crop health while maximizing energy output.
