As one of the few specialized agrivoltaic companies in Texas, Fortress Microgrid proudly supports producers in Plano and across the state with custom-built microgrids that align with both sustainability goals and bottom-line profitability.
Solar Farming Grounded in Research for Plano Growers
Fortress Microgrid isn’t just a microgrid provider in Plano. We’re also a collaborator in shaping the future of sustainable agriculture. We are an active partner in the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley’s (UTRGV) landmark initiative: the “Agrivoltaics for Climate-Smart Agriculture” project. Supported by a grant from the USDA, the project merges innovation and science to uncover the real-world impact of agrivoltaics in Texas agriculture.
The solar panels for this pilot project, installed by Fortress Microgrid, are now operational. With advanced monitoring equipment, we’re gathering crucial environmental data from the pilot site. This data is being used to quantify how solar panel shading affects key environmental outcomes like carbon retention, soil health, and water efficiency.
