My Agrivoltaic Farm 2.2

This educational game presents a thoughtful exploration of the emerging concept of agrivoltaics, developed in collaboration with researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Its primary objective is to cultivate a new generation of farmers who are encouraged to rethink the integration of solar power into agricultural practices.

Distinct from typical farm simulation games that simplify the complexities of farm management, this application emphasizes the scientific interplay between crop production and solar photovoltaic systems. It draws upon recent research in the field to illustrate how solar panel placement can impact crop growth, providing players with a robust understanding of this innovative approach.

Set against the backdrop of Arizona's agricultural landscape, players begin their journey by inheriting a farm. They are tasked with making strategic decisions regarding crop selection and solar panel positioning, ultimately witnessing the results of their choices on farm productivity.
