Growing Crops and Power — The Future of Farming in Odessa
Fortress Microgrid is helping Texas farms like those in Odessa improve how they manage energy, water, and soil health. Our agrivoltaic farming systems in Odessa are designed to produce clean solar energy while supporting agricultural productivity on the same land. Solar panels mounted above farmland in Odessa can help reduce costs and protect yields.
As one of the few specialized agrivoltaic companies in Texas, Fortress Microgrid proudly supports producers in Odessa and across the state with custom-built microgrids that align with both sustainability goals and bottom-line profitability.
Science-Driven Solar for Smarter Farming in Odessa
We work alongside leading institutions to pioneer solar agriculture solutions that benefit Odessa farms. 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.
The project’s solar arrays are now live, thanks to installation by Fortress Microgrid. They are paired with a Multichannel Automated Chamber System, a technology that continuously measures greenhouse gas emissions, soil moisture levels, and atmospheric conditions. Researchers use this information to study the impact of solar panels on Texas land and climate metrics.
