At this year’s Agrivoltaics Conference at UC Davis, farmers, policymakers, researchers, developers, and farming associations from California and Germany will come together for a full day built around concrete answers. The event will showcase current Agri-PV systems in operation and provide practical insights into how these technologies can be integrated into existing agricultural operations. Through expert panels, case studies, and field-driven discussions, participants will gain a clear understanding of how agrivoltaics can enhance farm resilience, diversify income, and unlock new investment opportunities, while maintaining productive land use.Hear how shading, water use, and crop performance actually change in the field, backed by real data from California and German pilot sites. Dig into the details at expert-led roundtables:what installations cost,what revenue streams can farmers realistically expect,how lenders and insurers weigh risk,which panel types and farming systems fit your operation,what permitting really requireswhat are the long-term financial and operational implications.Whether you farm, shape policy, or represent a farming or research association, you'll leave with practical takeaways, new transatlantic partners, and a clearer path forward - plus direct contact with US and German experts and potential project partners. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/e94a1b80-a6dc-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w1107-h740-dcd8e8c8-gmir.jpg Confirmed speakers (more to be announced)Majdi Abou Najm – Associate Professor, UC DavisJochen Hauff – Founder, Think ResiliencyRose Olivas – Co-Principal Investigator, Pitzer CollegeJordan Macknick – Researcher, National Laboratory of the RockiesKathryn Beroš – Founder, Harvest CaliforniaJohn Langdon – Founder, Oregon Ag DistributionAgrivoltaics Demo Event | November 11, 2026Join us on-site at UC Davis for a close look at the agrivoltaic installations with the researchers and developers who designed and built them, a view of what is growing under the panels, and plenty of time for your questions – yields, benefits, costs, permitting, equipment access, all of it.The visit wraps up with a relaxed networking session at Ruhstaller Farm Brewery, where you can connect with fellow growers, researchers, and industry peers over a beer.Date: Wednesday, November 11, 2026Location: UC Davis demonstration site + Ruhstaller Farm BreweryNote: Registration approval required – select "Combo-Ticket" at check-out to register.
