California produces nearly half of all U.S. vegetables and more than three-quarters of U.S. fruits and nuts, according to the CDFA. Today, moving that food from farms and packing facilities to distribution centers, ports, and markets requires a significant transportation network. One that runs predominantly on diesel. Read more

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.
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
The first Transatlantic #agrisolar Conference, joined by high-level representatives from energy, agriculture, policy, and research to pave the future for agrivoltaics. Questions we will tackle: What are the benefits of agrivoltaics, especially for #farmers and #developers ? How can they contribute to farm optimization? Which kinds of technologies already exist and what are the types of agrivoltaics #pvs ? How can agrivoltaics align #resilience and #sustainability ? See how Professor Majdi from UC Davis, Franz Feuerherdt from Solar 4 America, Helge Biernath from Sunzaun Sunstall, Knowledge Murphy from the American Farm trust and Kevin Logue untangle the challenges around #agsolar .
