“State of Change: Solar Harvest” explores how North Carolina farmers are combining solar energy production with agriculture to address climate change and land use challenges.

This PBS special highlights the innovative practice of agrivoltaics—using farmland for both crop cultivation and solar energy generation. As energy production is a major source of carbon emissions, solar power offers a cleaner alternative. However, solar installations often compete with farmland for space. The program showcases how North Carolinians are creatively integrating solar panels into agricultural landscapes, allowing farmers to maintain productivity while contributing to renewable energy goals. This dual-use approach supports sustainability, rural economies, and climate resilience.
