Congratulations Caroline !

Caroline Merheb (PhD) is the winner of the student design competition as part of The AgriVoltaics World Conference 2024 The purpose of this competition was to develop innovate agrivoltaic design concepts that address community sustainability challenges across the food-energy-water nexus. Caroline’s design for an urban setting is aimed at (1) enhancing access to fresh food in low-income areas/food deserts, (2) reducing surface temperatures and urban heat islands, and (3) increasing green community spaces and improving the urban aesthetics. The AgriVoltaics World Conference, now in its 5th year and spanning all five continents, provides high-level scientific exchange and great networking opportunities. This is the first time this meeting is held in the US, hosted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Denver, Colorado (11-13 June).
