Ground-mount installation contractor Sunstall has launched new venture Sunzaun, a vertical solar system ideal for agriculture applications.
One of the unique advantages of the Sunzaun is its ability to combine agriculture and the production of green electricity on the same land. This innovative vertical system has the potential to increase crop yield, provide shade and create a microclimate for the plants, while also decreasing the demand for irrigation and manuring.
Agrisolar Clearinghouse published a case study about a Sunzaun installation on a vineyard in California, explaining the system’s benefits for a farm. In addition to its agricultural applications, the Sunzaun is also suitable for a range of other environments such as along highways, next to railways, as a fence for property like residential buildings or public spaces, and any environment that can benefit from the small spatial footprint of the vertical design.
“We are thrilled to offer this revolutionary new product to the market,” said Helge Biernath, Sunstall CEO. “With our dual use approach, Sunzaun will have a high impact on decarbonizing the U.S. It mitigates the problems for modern farming caused by climate change and offers energy supply for electric vehicles right where it’s needed. We are confident that Sunzaun will help our customers save money on their energy bills while also reducing their carbon footprint.”
