Colorado researchers grew the world's most expensive spice on rooftop solar panels; harvested twice the output and generated $60,000 in return while producing electricity
A study by Colorado State University reveals that saffron flourishes under semi-shaded solar panels, yielding better results than those without shade. By integrating rooftop farming with renewable energy, urban food production can tackle space constraints. Projections suggest considerable net revenue from saffron and electricity production in five years, although challenges related to installation and upkeep remain for successful implementation.
The driver grown under semi-transparent solar panels, on a roof in Denver, produced twice as many flowers and twice as much dry season as the plants grown in full sun. Researchers estimate that such a roof could bring, in five years, revenues of over $60,000 in energy, sulphur and bulbs, but it specifies that the figure is a projection, not a realized gain.
In an unprecedented new project, the most expensive spice in the world was raised on a roof, under solar panels, with a significant profit.

There are no limits to what a well-planned project cannot achieve and researchers in Colorado have proven it right. They have managed to make a rooftop with solar panels produce electricity while also growing the world’s most expensive spice and generating extra income.Colorado State University researchers report that saffron, grown beneath solar panels rated at ...
