Academic Innovation for Agriculture in Lancaster, TX
In Lancaster, we’re more than solar installers — we’re innovation partners in ag sustainability. Fortress Microgrid is a proud collaborator in the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley’s “Agrivoltaics for Climate-Smart Agriculture” initiative. Supported by a grant from the USDA, the project merges innovation and science to uncover the real-world impact of agrivoltaics in Texas agriculture.
Fortress Microgrid-installed panels for this pilot are already up and running. 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.
