The Details

Why consider RUTE SunTracker for your land and herd life.

It’s Productive and Proven

As with any patented system, we’ve invested years developing and fine-tuning our system works effortlessly and seamlessly with ranch life. Construction is non-destructive, herds gravitate to the shade (and integrated scratching posts), and soil conditions are improved.

It’s Stable and Scalable

The system tracks with the sun for maximum exposure and energy production. Wind tests and third-party wind assessments were completed in 2024, demonstrating the system can withstand hurricane winds. The first commercial 120kW system was completed in 2025 for a 20,000-acre Oregon cattle ranch. The system can scale to virtually any size and power need.

It’s Innovative and Healthy

Despite a lot of foot (and hoof) traffic beneath the solar panels, the grass is greener from reduced sun stress and improved water retention. Our footings are made of incredibly durable, lightweight recycled wind turbine blades, meaning no gravel or sand added to your land.
