Growing Crops and Power — The Future of Farming in Henderson
Fortress Microgrid is helping Texas farms like those in Henderson improve how they manage energy, water, and soil health. Our agrivoltaic farming systems in Henderson 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 Henderson landowners lower utility costs, improve yields, and strengthen climate resilience.
We’re one of the only agrivoltaic providers in Texas helping Henderson farms meet energy and profit goals with custom microgrids.
A Research-Backed Solution for Henderson, TX Agriculture
We work alongside leading institutions to pioneer solar agriculture solutions that benefit Henderson farms. Fortress Microgrid is a proud collaborator in the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley’s “Agrivoltaics for Climate-Smart Agriculture” initiative. Backed by USDA funding, this project blends cutting-edge solar tech with academic research to evaluate agrivoltaics in real Texas conditions.
The solar panels for this pilot project, installed by Fortress Microgrid, are now operational. They are paired with a Multichannel Automated Chamber System, a technology that continuously measures greenhouse gas emissions, soil moisture levels, and atmospheric conditions. This data is being used to quantify how solar panel shading affects key environmental outcomes like carbon retention, soil health, and water efficiency.
Custom Agrivoltaic Installations for Henderson Farms
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. We begin with an in-depth evaluation of your Henderson property, then design a tailored solar solution.
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.
What Makes Fortress Microgrid a Smart Choice for Henderson Farms
We’re a Texas-born company that works closely with farmers, ranchers, and rural landowners across the region — including Henderson. We design with Texas in mind: extreme heat, unique soil compositions, and the diverse challenges Henderson farmers face. Our academic ties help us innovate, adapt, and ensure that your Henderson system performs now and for the future.
Incentives shouldn’t be confusing — we make sure Henderson producers get the help they need to go solar affordably.
