The University of California, Santa Barbara received a $599,892 CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031. This project will develop an open-source modeling and design framework to assess the technical scalability and sustainability of agrivoltaic systems—which combine agricultural production with solar photovoltaic electricity generation—across major U.S. agricultural regions. The core deliverables include an integrated modeling architecture linking spatial and temporal radiation dynamics, energy system design, and crop responses to shading; a national gridded time-series dataset of global and diffuse photosynthetically active radiation for improved crop shading modeling; and a typology of agrivoltaic system designs compatible with key cropping and livestock systems. The project will produce publicly accessible online tools enabling evaluation of agrivoltaic design trade-offs and synergies, crop-specific outreach materials to support farmer decision-making, and a large-scale feasibility assessment across diverse climates and solar array configurations. The initiative integrates research, education, and workforce development by providing undergraduate research opportunities and incorporating research tools into undergraduate coursework. Performance of this research will be conducted at UCSB's Santa Barbara, California campus.Federal Grant Award Summary
