Pole-mount Agrivoltaics Project Installed at Puerto Rico Coffee Farm
A new agrivoltaics system has been installed at a coffee farm in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, which could set standards for energy independence in hurricane-prone regions.
Miguel Berdiel, owner of Hacienda Berdiel Torres, faced multiple challenges, including high energy costs and impacts from Hurricane Maria, which stifled the farm's growth.
The farm's hydroponic greenhouse was eventually shuttered, and plans to offer jobs and locally grown food to the community were halted.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) InSPIRE initiative and Oregon-based nonprofit Twende Solar collaborated to plan and coordinate a solar installation at the farm.
The project aims to promote energy independence and climate resilience in hurricane-prone regions.
