The United States is one of the leading countries in the agrivoltaic industry. Although as a leader in this agricultural business model, the United States is a large agri community and has created a niche in the world of the agrivoltaic industry. The bottom line though is The agrivoltaic process is still in its infancy. One of our former presidents known for his farming and love of the agricultural world, Jimmy Carter, is a big fan and advocate of agricultaic.

According to a report by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), agrivoltaic systems in the United States have the potential to generate over 300 GW of renewable energy while utilizing less than 1% of the agricultural land. The report suggests that agrivoltaic systems can reduce water usage in agriculture, increase crop yields, and provide additional revenue streams for farmers. Above and beyond all this, when marrying solar to farming creates its own ecosystem, this is what the future holds for the 21st century farmer and what may be the "new killer app" as what many in the technology world like to call it!

Several agrivoltaic projects have been initiated across the United States. For example, the University of Arizona's Agricultural Research Center has implemented a 1.6 MW agrivoltaic system that combines solar panels with pecan trees. Similarly, the Indian Creek Nature Center in Iowa has installed a 28.5 kW agrivoltaic system that combines solar panels with native prairie grasses.
