In the Central Valley, a First-Of-Its-Kind Project Is Proving That With a Little Innovation, Water and Energy Can Work Together

In Hickman, solar panels are going up over the Turlock Irrigation District’s main canal. For Solar AquaGrid co-founder Jordan Harris, seeing it covered in solar panels is the realization of a decade-long vision.

“It’s been a crazy journey, this last decade, and it’s a big deal for me to stand here and see that we’re making shade, and electrons,” said Harris.
