Solar Farming Grounded in Research for Austin Growers
We’re part of a movement to shape farming’s future — and Austin is part of that change. As part of UTRGV’s landmark “Agrivoltaics for Climate-Smart Agriculture” effort, we contribute hands-on expertise to support research and innovation. With support from the USDA, this effort unites solar innovation and academic study to assess agrivoltaic benefits for Texas growers.
Fortress Microgrid-installed panels for this pilot are already up and running. They’re linked to an automated chamber that tracks emissions, water levels, and more around the clock. The results are helping us understand how solar can enhance land health and sustainability in Austin.
