Learning & Libations: Agrivoltaic Seminar Series The Colorado Agrivoltaic Learning Center, the University of Colorado - Boulder, and Colorado State University are co-hosting a seminar series about Agrivoltaics! Throughout this series we will feature from experts in the solar industry, and land management professionals speaking to the challenges and opportunities in their fields, current trends, and the future of integrating agrivoltaics into their work. The goal is to foster a deeper conversation and collaboration between the solar industry, land management professionals and researchers with students, faculty, staff at Colorado’s largest universities. Sessions will offer opportunities for engagement with a panel discussion followed by a networking happy hour with FREE food and drinks. The series starts in Boulder on September 5th! |

The Colorado Agrivoltaic Learning Center is kicking off a program to link immigrant and Latinx community members with agricultural backgrounds to lands within existing solar arrays on Colorado's Front Range. We are actively looking for qualifying participants who want to start a new agribusiness to reach out to us so we can explain the support we can provide. We are also actively looking for solar asset owners on the Front Range who want to expand their knowledge of agrivoltaics and work with participants we identify. Current Scope: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Denver, Jefferson, Larimer, Morgan, and Weld Counties. Do you work with Latinx or immigrant communities in these counties? Are you a solar company with projects in these counties? |

On July 27th, we hosted a fun and inspiring event at Jack's Solar Garden! Harvesting Home: Empowering Boulder County's Food and Energy Future showcased community food and energy organizations around Boulder County, and helped show members of the public ways that they could get involved. We had a Brazilian drum group (Bateria Alegria from Boulder Samba School) marching through to solar array, which was probably a first! Such a great day. |

Finally, some of our team represented us at the Solar Farm Summit in Chicago in early July! |
