Mammoth Solar Pushes Back Against Opposition with ‘Agrivoltaics’

Opposition against solar farms can be loud in the usually quiet, rural outskirts of Indiana. White signs with variations of the words “Stop Solar” are often posted in front of soybean and corn fields, nailed to telephone poles and stationed in the front yards of the state’s many quaint farm houses. But in Starke County in Northwest Indiana, Billy Bope has not put up a “Stop Solar” sign in his front yard. He is a farmer who has benefitted from a solar farm project.
