The Rutgers Agrivoltaics Program (RAP) has installed three agrivoltaics systems with total solar energy capacity of over 500 kW. These research and demonstration systems are located in Northern, Central, and Southern New Jersey. Funding for construction was provided through two State Appropriations totaling $2.9 million USD. Advanced Solar Products was the developer chosen to install the solar arrays.
Research funding for the three RAP sites was provided by a Department of Energy (DOE), Agrivoltaic Systems For Diversified Agriculture grant, totaling $1.6 million USD.
RAP has also been contracted by the New Jersey Board of Utilities, totaling $2.8 million USD, to help develop the Dual-Use Pilot Program and conduct research at selected project sites.
