Thank you to all who joined us for the inaugural Colorado Agrivoltaic Conference 2026, hosted by ​the Colorado Agrivoltaic Learning Center and presented by Colorado State University and the Rural Climate Partnership.

 

Over the course of two days convened 150 leaders from solar, agriculture, policy, conservation, and community organizations for collaborative learning and solution-building to accelerate agrivoltaic deployment across Colorado. 

​​

We hope you enjoyed the interactive sessions and space for deeper discussion and networking. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive!  You all showed up and actively participated to strengthen connections and inspire a shared vision for Colorado’s agrivoltaic future.

Thanks to CDR Associates for their expert facilitation and team of notetakers. Because of them, we are able to share the overarching themes from conference discussions and barriers and potential actions to broader agrivoltaic development. We are also pleased to share the sector-based biggest, boldest ideas gathered from engagement boards, prioritized actions, and the offers and asks gathered from our group working sessions.

​
