Supports cattle agrivoltaics projects to explore benefits to ag producers, landowners, and rural communities, and advance solar development.

The American-Made Large Animal and Solar System Operations (LASSO) Prize offers up to $8.2 million in cash prizes to multi-stakeholder teams that develop impactful projects to deepen our understanding of the co-location of photovoltaics (PV) and cattle grazing operations (cattle agrivoltaics). 

The LASSO Prize will bring together solar developers, farmers, ranchers, and other stakeholders to form teams, build pilot sites, generate data on cattle agrivoltaics best practices, use cases, costs, applicable business models, associated energy and agricultural outcomes, host field days, and more!
