As solar technology continues to evolve, one of the most promising developments is vertical photovoltaic (PV) systems. Unlike traditional panels installed at an angle on rooftops or open fields, vertical PV panels stand upright, like a fence, and can be bifacial, capturing sunlight from both sides.
Farmers today are under increasing pressure from rising operational costs and a changing climate, both of which threaten the viability of owner-operated farms. At the same time, the growing demand for food and the renewable energy transition compete for space. But what if farmers could harvest both food and solar power from the same land, while becoming more financially secure? Agrivoltaics, also known as agri-photovoltaics (agri-PV), enables farmers to keep farming, while balancing other demands.
The 2025 Solar Farm Summit in Chicago brought together farmers, developers, researchers, state officials and industry leaders. Some came as curious explorers, others as passionate advocates, but all shared an interest in how solar and farming can work together. Sunzaun’s team was there to showcase its vertical bifacial solar racking system and join in on conversations shaping the next chapters of solar in agriculture. Helge Biernath, CEO of Sunstall, joined a panel with experts from Sandbox Solar and SolarEdge to share insights on vertical solar technology.
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.
