Bill overview
This bill, the SOLAR Act, limits the financial assistance the Department of Agriculture can provide for ground-mounted solar energy projects that convert farmland. It focuses on protecting prime, unique, and locally important farmland by preventing its use for solar energy production, with some exceptions for smaller projects and those receiving local approval. Projects must also develop and implement a plan to conserve the soil health of the land and ensure proper decommissioning and restoration.
