Local Innovation Meets Sustainable Agriculture in El Paso
Fortress Microgrid is helping Texas farms like those in El Paso improve how they manage energy, water, and soil health. Our agrivoltaic farming systems in El Paso 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 El Paso landowners lower utility costs, improve yields, and strengthen climate resilience.
We’re one of the only agrivoltaic providers in Texas helping El Paso farms meet energy and profit goals with custom microgrids.
Where Research Meets Results for El Paso Farms
In El Paso, we’re more than solar installers — we’re innovation partners in ag sustainability. We are an active partner in the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley’s (UTRGV) landmark initiative: the “Agrivoltaics for Climate-Smart Agriculture” project. This USDA-funded initiative combines advanced solar solutions with university research to study how agrivoltaics perform across Texas farms.
The project’s solar arrays are now live, thanks to installation by Fortress Microgrid. These systems include high-tech sensors that collect real-time data on soil, gas, and air quality. Researchers use this information to study the impact of solar panels on Texas land and climate metrics.
