Agrivoltaics Backed by Data and Built for Vernon
We don’t just build microgrids in Vernon. We help define what’s next for Texas 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. They are paired with a Multichannel Automated Chamber System, a technology that continuously measures greenhouse gas emissions, soil moisture levels, and atmospheric conditions. The results are helping us understand how solar can enhance land health and sustainability in Vernon.
