Customer Testimonial

Finding a company to create a solar solution for your home or business can be quite a challenge. I know because I went through five companies – all calling themselves “experts” – and they were not. One of the hallmarks of an expert in a technical field like solar energy is integrity. As an engineer with 50 years of experience in creating technical solutions, I am good at getting to the bottom line for an engineered solution.

I am writing to hopefully save you time and energy in making your solar decision – you want to work with this team. Their professionalism, from initial contact to an engineered design and, finally, attention to detail in the installation, was amazing. I highly recommend Fortress Microgrid. If you want to make your solar experience the best it can be, get in touch with this company.

Local Innovation Meets Sustainable Agriculture in Athens

Fortress Microgrid is helping Texas farms like those in Athens improve how they manage energy, water, and soil health. Our agrivoltaic farming systems in Athens are designed to produce clean solar energy while supporting agricultural productivity on the same land. By installing solar panels directly over crops or grazing areas, we help Athens landowners lower utility costs, improve yields, and strengthen climate resilience.

We’re one of the only agrivoltaic providers in Texas helping Athens farms meet energy and profit goals with custom microgrids.

Science-Driven Solar for Smarter Farming in Athens

We’re part of a movement to shape farming’s future — and Athens is part of that change. Fortress Microgrid is a proud collaborator in the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley’s “Agrivoltaics for Climate-Smart Agriculture” initiative. This USDA-funded initiative combines advanced solar solutions with university research to study how agrivoltaics perform across Texas farms.

These panels, installed by our team, are actively delivering clean energy as part of the pilot. They’re linked to an automated chamber that tracks emissions, water levels, and more around the clock. These insights directly shape the agrivoltaic systems we install for Texas producers.

Bringing Agrivoltaics to Life on Your Athens Land

Each installation begins with understanding the land, then building a system to match. Depending on your needs, your installation could include dual-sided bifacial panels, energy storage, and advanced inverters for seamless backup support. We begin with an in-depth evaluation of your Athens property, then design a tailored solar solution.

Monitor your solar output and farm energy consumption in real time — from your mobile device.
