The field keeps farming.
The sky starts earning.
Elevated dual-axis solar trackers for croplands, orchards and pastures. Each tracker stands on one steel pole, 14 ft above the ground, so crops, cattle and equipment keep working underneath.

Do More With Your Land
Stracker units keep your land in production, generating energy and earning you money while providing shade, protecting crops and maintaining the breezes that keep crops and livestock cool.
A new revenue layer
Power is added above the farm instead of replacing it. A single pole per tracker leaves the ground in production, and the array earns from energy every day the crops are growing, resting or being grazed.
Shade that saves water
The higher ground clearance gives Stracker units an additional 12–18% energy boost. By elevating the arrays, the dual-sided panels capture direct sunlight from above, plus ambient sunlight reflected from below.
Room to work
Fourteen feet (4.3 m) of clearance and 60 ft (18.3 m) between poles let tractors, sprayers and irrigation lines pass freely. Cattle graze in the shade, and nothing at ground level needs fencing off.
Field Results
In operation since 2024
Our Table Cooperative
Sherwood, Oregon · 58-acre (23.5 ha) vegetable and berry farm
Approved - Building Through 2027
Bison Ranch
Ashland, Oregon · cattle grazing on irrigated forage
The ground beneath the arrays will be cleared, irrigated and planted with high-quality forage for large cattle.
The Strackers at Our Table are part of the first agrivoltaic microgrid in the United States. Oregon State University researchers are measuring crop yield, quality, labor and water use beneath them.
Early findings
Irrigation water use under the arrays is about half that of open field, and the harvest season for heat-sensitive greens runs longer.
Project Details
6 Strackers over cropland
75 kW with battery storage, powering the farm and store
Oregon State University commercial-scale agrivoltaic research site
Project Details
1.4 MW - 84 Strackers on about 8 acres (3.2 ha)
3,360 - MWh per year projected, enough for about 280 homes
Oregon State University study of rotational grazing under active arrays
Virtual net metering
Power feeds the north side of Ashland's municipal grid and is credited to local homes and businesses through the City's virtual net metering program.
The Research
What Oregon State University has measured
+20% potato yield under solar panels compared with full sun, in a 2021 Oregon trial
2× pasture biomass under solar panels compared with unshaded ground, with wetter soil all summer, in a 2018 study
50% lower water use and extended growing season for lettuce farming
<1% of U.S. farmland in agrivoltaics could meet about 20% of national electricity demand
