In this episode, we explore vertical bifacial solar racking with Tia Hanes from Sunzaun. This European innovation is transforming how farmers and solar developers think about land use.

Tia Hanes represents Sunzaun, a company bringing vertical bifacial racking systems to North America. These adaptable mounting solutions allow farmers to maintain crop production while generating solar electricity, creating dual revenue streams without sacrificing agricultural land.

Key Discussion Points:

Vertical bifacial racking adapts to multiple settings: residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural applications

Farmers maintain full crop production while adding electricity generation as a second income source

System height and angle adjust to specific crop and site requirements

Placement flexibility works for corn fields, cattle grazing, business settings, and residential properties

Production prioritizes land efficiency over maximum power output

Dual use eliminates the farmland versus solar tradeoff that has created friction in rural communities

The future of agriculture includes electricity generation. Vertical solar racking makes dual use farming practical without asking farmers to give up productive land.
