Pioneering collaboration introduces US' first vertical agrivoltaics system

In a groundbreaking collaboration, U.S. solar company iSun and German agrivoltaics pioneer Next2Sun Mounting Systems are set to introduce the first vertical agrivoltaics system in the United States. This innovative project aims to revolutionize solar power generation by combining agriculture with advanced solar technology. iSun, with over 50 years of technological innovation, emphasizes its commitment to accelerating the adoption of transformative technologies, recognizing renewable solar energy as key to a sustainable future. Next2Sun's Vermont project, supported by the German Federal Ministry, uses vertically installed bifacial solar modules to optimize power production and minimize agricultural land impact. The collaboration demonstrates the integration of vertical agrivoltaics into the U.S. energy landscape, promoting sustainable practices that balance energy production and agricultural needs.
