Crosscut recently reported that two greenhouse domes on the Colville Reservation will house the state’s first 'agrivoltaics' project, where food and electricity can grow in tandem on small acreage: Farms in Central Washington boost their yield with solar energy | Crosscut

This innovative practice, known as agrophotovoltaics in Germany and solar sharing in Asia, affirms that solar panels and agriculture can share the same land to make both more profitable. 

A solar panel that is intended to provide energy for fans in the geodesic dome is seen at a micro-farm, in Nespelem, Wash. (Young Kwak for Crosscut)
