2026 OKLAHOMA SOLAR SUMMIT

Oklahoma is blessed with abundant soil, sun and a strong agricultural tradition—but it also faces real pressures from rapid economic growth, mounting global forces, and increasing on-farm challenges to agricultural production specifically and agribusiness in general. A perfect storm of economic growth, environmental constraints, agricultural difficulties, and solar deployment is converging in Oklahoma, where: 

• Farmers and ranchers are facing intensifying water scarcity, elevated drought and wildfire risk, higher irrigation costs and increasing input costs overall.
• Farmers, landowners, and farm communities are fielding new development interest from large data centers, industrial facilities, and energy infrastructure—including ground-mounted solar power—which all add to the pressure to develop agricultural land and the potential for land use conflicts.
• Development stakeholders are finding new opportunities to solve hard economic challenges and circumvent land use trade-offs by implementing multifunctional agrivoltaics and ecovoltaics solar farm models, but are lacking clear guidance on best practices, potential policy, project-level detail, and professional collaboration.

To connect the agriculture and energy dots, and connect stakeholders and AgPV professionals to each other, the inaugural Oklahoma Solar Summit will provide a constructive environment for attendees to share a robustly practical, substance-oriented, and Oklahoma-specific experience. With a knowledge-building program built on the latest research insights, real-world case studies, and presentations from leading AgPV practitioners, Oklahoma Solar Summit is a rare opportunity to engage a dedicated audience of solar land stewards and explore all the ways that agriculture and solar energy can work together to the mutual benefit of both and harvest a larger basket of community benefits over the long term both direct and indirect.
