Loran Shallenberger

Loran Shallenberger is the VP of Regenerative Energy and Agrivoltaics at Silicon Ranch, where he leads the company’s nationally recognized Regenerative Energy® platform. This groundbreaking initiative combines renewable energy production with sustainable land management, earning industry accolades for its integration of agrivoltaic practices to restore ecosystems, support biodiversity, and strengthen rural economies, while building, owning, and operating better solar energy projects.

A key focus of Loran’s work is advancing sheep and cattle production as a cornerstone of land management at Silicon Ranch facilities.
