Technical Assistance Program for Agrivoltaics (TAPAS) Pilot Farmer Training
Registration Link: https://go.rutgers.edu/TAPAS_registration
American Farmland Trust and Rutgers Agrivoltaics Program are excited to host our inaugural agrivoltaic farmer trainings in New Jersey! This Technical Assistance Program for Agrivoltaics (TAPAS) will introduce the dual-use of land for both agricultural and solar energy production, and explore the opportunities it may present for greater farm viability in New Jersey.
There are three training events, but due to limited capacity, we are encouraging participants to only register for one training session so we may train as many producers as possible. The in-person events have a capacity of 20 participants. Register today to secure your spot as soon as possible! While these trainings are exclusively held for farmers and ranchers, we will have other opportunities in the future for non-farmer participants to learn from our team of experts.
