Growing Crops and Power — The Future of Farming in Grapevine
At Fortress Microgrid, we’re leading the way in transforming how Texas farms manage energy, water, and soil health. In Grapevine, we make it possible to grow crops and harvest energy from the same acres. We help Grapevine farms save on electricity, boost crop results, and weather the seasons more reliably.
We’re one of the only agrivoltaic providers in Texas helping Grapevine farms meet energy and profit goals with custom microgrids.
Science-Driven Solar for Smarter Farming in Grapevine
We work alongside leading institutions to pioneer solar agriculture solutions that benefit Grapevine farms. Fortress Microgrid is a proud collaborator in the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley’s “Agrivoltaics for Climate-Smart Agriculture” initiative. With support from the USDA, this effort unites solar innovation and academic study to assess agrivoltaic benefits for Texas growers.
The project’s solar arrays are now live, thanks to installation by Fortress Microgrid. They’re linked to an automated chamber that tracks emissions, water levels, and more around the clock. Researchers use this information to study the impact of solar panels on Texas land and climate metrics.
Installing Agrivoltaic Systems in Grapevine, TX
Each installation begins with understanding the land, then building a system to match. Your installation may include high-efficiency bifacial solar panels for dual-sided light capture, energy storage systems with advanced inverters, or another system that supports enhanced backup and off-grid performance. Your project starts with a full site review and ends with a precision-fit agrivoltaic system.
With real-time insights, you can manage your energy smarter and more efficiently than ever.
