Back in 2023, University of California (UC) Davis had a small set of Sunzaun vertical bifacial racking installed – three rows of three modules – to support early agrivoltaics research. Sunstall donated so the university could begin exploring how vertical solar might work alongside crops in California farmland.
Two years later, and after immense collaboration, the research site looks quite different.
In mid-October, our team completed one of the most unique and inspiring projects in our portfolio to date. Set against the dramatic mountain backdrop of Grand Junction, Colorado, this system marks a major milestone for agrivoltaics in the U.S. by standing as the largest viticulture-focused agrivoltaic system (or “viti-voltaic”) in the country.
What if your business or facility could generate solar power all day long—even in snow-heavy regions, tight urban sites, or areas with limited rooftop availability?
That’s exactly what vertical solar installations are making possible.
In a new YouTube breakdown, DIY solar enthusiast Projects With Everyday Dave explores how vertical solar setups—especially when paired with bifacial panels—are transforming solar efficiency in real-world environments. While his findings are residential in scale, the underlying data offers compelling insights for commercial developers, infrastructure planners, and large-scale property owners exploring smarter, space-efficient solar solutions.
As the world intensifies efforts to reduce carbon emissions and embrace renewable energy, the role of airports in this transition is often overlooked. Traditionally seen as major energy consumers due to the constant demands of air traffic and facilities, airports are now becoming key players in sustainable energy generation. A particularly innovative approach gaining traction is the use of vertical solar farms. This article explores how vertical photovoltaic (PV) systems can revolutionize energy production at airports and contribute to a greener aviation industry.
One thing that sets Sunstall apart is its approach to training.
Most companies onboard you with a few Zoom calls, a handbook, and maybe a slide deck from a past project. As a new Assistant Project Manager(APM) at Sunstall, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Most APMs in office-based roles don’t typically head straight to the field. But Sunstall does something different. They bring you to the heart of the work.
As railroads intersect countries and connect cities, they offer a unique opportunity for energy generation. Vertical bifacial solar systems are well-suited to turn these corridors into high-efficiency, low-footprint power sources—without interfering with train operations or requiring additional land.
Sunstall is proud to celebrate the completion of its 100th solar project in collaboration with Coldwell Solar and OMCO Solar – a significant milestone highlighting the strength and consistency of a long-standing partnership.
Solar energy systems are evolving — not just in what they’re made of, but in how and where they’re installed. One innovative approach gaining attention is the use of vertical bifacial solar panels placed along the sides of irrigation canals.
At Sunstall, we help bring such systems into reality with mounting and engineering solutions — and with our product Sunzaun, we offer a purpose-built vertical PV solution that’s ideal for these kinds of applications. Read more
“You can’t do that, it’s a man’s job” This is a sentence that you unfortunately still hear often enough in these enlightened times. But no woman should let such statements stop her from exploring what opportunities she has.
As we wrap up another inspiring Annual Supervisor Event, we take a moment to reflect on the incredible discussions, team-building moments, and strategic planning that shaped our gathering. This year’s event was all about learning from the past, setting a vision for the future, and strengthening the bonds that make our team exceptional.
Supervisors from across our organization came together for an intensive and engaging summit. The event officially kicked off with fresh energy and enthusiasm as we embarked on a journey of reflection and innovation.
