Together with physicist Armin Zastrow, he pioneered the concept of agrivoltaics —the use of land for both agriculture and solar energy generation. That same year, he and Zastrow introduced the agrivoltaic concept, in which solar panels are built atop greenhouses or in structures above field crops to maximize land use.
