I’m pleased to share that my research paper, “What Will Drive Agrivoltaics Adoption: Evidence from the US Solar Developer’s Survey,” has been accepted for the 2026 International Energy Workshop (IEW), hosted by the University of Cape Town in Cape Town, South Africa (June 22–24, 2026).
This year’s workshop received around 300 submissions, and the selection process was highly competitive, with papers evaluated based on their relevance to key energy topics, scientific rigor, and originality. I’m grateful that this work was recognized among a strong pool of global research contributions.
Looking forward to engaging with the broader research community and continuing to explore the evolving role of agrivoltaics in sustainable energy transitions.
