Science-Driven Solar for Smarter Farming in Sweetwater
We’re part of a movement to shape farming’s future — and Sweetwater is part of that change. We’ve partnered with UTRGV on their groundbreaking project, “Agrivoltaics for Climate-Smart Agriculture,” to help shape the future of sustainable farming. Backed by USDA funding, this project blends cutting-edge solar tech with academic research to evaluate agrivoltaics in real Texas conditions.
These panels, installed by our team, are actively delivering clean energy as part of the pilot. They’re linked to an automated chamber that tracks emissions, water levels, and more around the clock. This data is being used to quantify how solar panel shading affects key environmental outcomes like carbon retention, soil health, and water efficiency.
