The SunFarmor module's prefabrication, onsite assembly, and plug-n-play modularity simplify solar development so farmers and ranchers can develop solar farms without a solar developer. SunFarmor modules are agnostic to topography and underground conditions, vastly decreasing the complexity necessary to deploy a solar farms.
Instead of manually constructing solar farms from tens of thousands of pieces on-site after precisely driving posts into surveyed land, crews will assemble SunFarmor modules from 16 prefabricated assemblies at the roadside accessible to semis and served by support facilities. Teams will prefabricate 100 percent of a SunFarmor module offsite, including the runners, stretchers, and PV tables. Continued..

TrackerSled will expand agrivoltaics, giving large commodity crop farmers an opportunity to grow food on the same land where they generate and consume energy to benefit their communities and bottom lines.
By the end of the decade, a 3.5-acre TrackerSled solar farm, constructed in weeks - not months- will produce all the power needed to make the fuel and fertilizer to operate a 1,000-acre grain farm in the Corn Belt. That’s offering farmers a 30-year reprieve from inflation on one-third of their non-land costs spent on fuel, fertilizer, and electricity. Continued..
In solar-friendly states like Illinois, farmers can make up to 50% returns on the solar farm alone, selling surplus energy back to their electric co-op below retail prices. But by the end of the decade, farmers can use that power to make carbon-free fuel and nitrogen fertilizer on their farms with containerized hydrogen/ammonia plants. In
In solar-friendly states like Illinois, farmers can make up to 50% returns on the solar farm alone, selling surplus energy back to their electric co-op below retail prices. But by the end of the decade, farmers can use that power to make carbon-free fuel and nitrogen fertilizer on their farms with containerized hydrogen/ammonia plants. In this case, their entire farm is earning more profit.
Some farmers will use the ammonia to fertilize crops and run dual-fuel engine tractors, combines, and semis to operate carbon-free. Other farmers use hydrogen to power equipment with fuel cells. Either way, farming will become more profitable. Once farmers earn price premiums for carbon-free commodities to satisfy the demand from grain majors and food companies who’ve made 2030 commitments, returns will soar beyond 50%.
And the profitability does not need to stop with the first generation, especially for family farms. After 30 years, farmers can hand down the SunFarmor modules to their children, who can repower them, lowering their costs even further. Continued...
Based on maps published by Bloomberg, this illustration shows the distribution of US cropland on a pixelated map of the US. Each pixel represents 250,000 acres. Dark green pixels show the distribution of anhydrous ammonia fertilizer use. The Corn Belt comprises 58% of all cropland in the US. Over 150,000 farmers work over 1,000 acres here.
States outlined in orange have renewable portfolio standards. Yellow areas are projected to grow commercial PV by 25MW in five years. States with the sunburst icon have active Renewable Energy Credit (RECs) markets.
Pixels shown in Kelly green show the adoption of no-till. Conservation tillage is shown in dark green. Cover crops are shown in yellow and conservation easements are shown in blue.
In the pixels shaded red, rural cooperatives pay over $0.075/kWh. Orange areas pay over $0.065/kWh. Yellow over $0.055/kWh. Farmers and ranchers with SunFarmore dual-use fields will produce power at $0.045/kWh. After 30 years, the second generation can repower the SunFarmor modules to halve their cost of electricity for the next 30 years.
If you are a farmer or ranchers interested in using our technology to improve profits, we'd love to hear from you.
