A Project Advisory Committee (PAC) has been established to advise the UMass agrivoltaics research team as the project moves forward. The 12-member PAC represents a wide range of stakeholder perspectives, including agriculture, agricultural economics, land-use issues, and solar development. The PAC meets quarterly to review materials and advise the research team, and provides project input on an ongoing basis.
