Solar Farming

Solar power solutions from a NASA Spinoff company

505 305 4232

Solar Farming, known as Agrivoltaics, substantially increases crop yield 10% or more by providing

Shade to reduce or eliminate:

Blossom drop

Sun scorch

Evaporation and

Frost damage

all while producing power for pumps, barns and homes

PV power and partial shade for berries, beans, peppers and tomatoes, RGCF early Spring 2025

We even saw increases in yield in a test bed set up on asphalt! Sandia National Laboratories 2023-2024 ABQ

This ain't our first rodeo...
