UC Davis Expands Agrivoltaics Research, Includes New Sunzaun System
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 (agriculture + solar, or photovoltaic, energy) research. Sunstall donated the racking system so the university could begin exploring how vertical solar might work alongside crops in […]
Putting Farmers First: Insights from the Solar Farm Summit
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 […]
Vertical Solar Is Changing the Game: Smarter Design, Real Results for Commercial Projects
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 […]
Addressing Heat Stress in Berry Crops with Innovative Shade Solutions
Heat stress is becoming a concern in berry farming, with rising temperatures putting crops at risk. While moderate heat stress levels can benefit berries by extending the growing season and enhancing flavor profiles. Excessive heat can have detrimental effects. The same heat that may initially boost plant health and fruit development can, when it becomes […]
