The Initiative:

Combines photovoltaic technology with horticulture in one of our most daring projects to date. We will design, build, and implement a fully functioning agrivoltaic system on Harvard’s campus. This is one small but important part of the clean energy transition: small scale projects to improve our local community.

PHOTOXSYNTHESIS is a hybrid community garden that seeks to start a conversation about sustainable power consumption and generation. We leverage agrivoltaics, which combines solar energy production with the cultivation of native plants, to present a future where physical-digital ecosystems can exist in symbiosis.
