We’re excited to announce that Pasture Voltaics LLC and its unique SunTracker technology have joined the PlanitWorks partner family.
Using raised, high-tensile cables positioned nine feet above the ground to control a solar grid array to track the sun, SunTracker enables ranchers, farmers, Native American tribes, and other entities with vested land management interests to:
- Provide green energy development
- Protect their herds from excessive heat
- Regenerate land
- Feed power back to the grid
The elevated, cabled solar canopy is particularly ideal for livestock, because they provide badly needed shade (for animals and the land), thereby reducing stress on the animals and mitigating evaporation.
A typical 1,200-acre installation generates up to 200MW of electricity. Additionally, the cabling systems are based on well-known bridge-building principles, enabling them to withstand the kinds of high winds typical on open ranges.
While Pasture Voltaics does the actual instllations, PlanitWorks is managing all development efforts including planning, permitting, and working with ranchers.
