Local Innovation Meets Sustainable Agriculture in Abilene
At Fortress Microgrid, we’re leading the way in transforming how Texas farms manage energy, water, and soil health. In Abilene, we make it possible to grow crops and harvest energy from the same acres. Solar panels mounted above farmland in Abilene can help reduce costs and protect yields.
We’re one of the only agrivoltaic providers in Texas helping Abilene farms meet energy and profit goals with custom microgrids.
Agrivoltaics Backed by Data and Built for Abilene
Fortress Microgrid isn’t just a microgrid provider in Abilene. We’re also a collaborator in shaping the future of sustainable agriculture. As part of UTRGV’s landmark “Agrivoltaics for Climate-Smart Agriculture” effort, we contribute hands-on expertise to support research and innovation. Supported by a grant from the USDA, the project merges innovation and science to uncover the real-world impact of agrivoltaics in Texas agriculture.
These panels, installed by our team, are actively delivering clean energy as part of the pilot. They are paired with a Multichannel Automated Chamber System, a technology that continuously measures greenhouse gas emissions, soil moisture levels, and atmospheric conditions. These insights directly shape the agrivoltaic systems we install for Texas producers.
Expert Agrivoltaic Installations Across Abilene, TX
No two Abilene properties are the same, so our agrivoltaic designs are always unique. We may install bifacial solar panels that absorb light from both sides, along with cutting-edge inverters and storage solutions for off-grid strength. Your project starts with a full site review and ends with a precision-fit agrivoltaic system.
We also provide easy-to-use system interfaces that let you monitor your energy production and consumption in real time, empowering you to make smart, data-driven decisions on the farm.
