Maximize Yields.
Keep Your Land in Production.
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.
How Stracker Works
Solar Panels
Each unit uses commercially-available, bifacial (dual-sided) solar panels to collect energy from the sun and reflected energy from the ground under the panels.
Rack & Mounting
Solar panels are mounted on our rack system, securing them in place and ensuring safety during wind or harsh weather.
Dual-Axis Unit
Our patented dual-axis unit uses motors to move the solar panels to the best position to capture the sun's energy. The panels move continuously throughout the day, tracking the sun's path.
Pole
A 22' tall, 12x12" heavy steel pole supports the Stracker's head unit from the ground while keeping the panels out of the way of traffic below.
Foundation
A single 7' deep, 30" diameter steel-reinforced concrete foundation is poured on site to support the Stracker unit.
Solar & Electrical Hardware
As with any solar panel system, Stracker units use an inverter to convert the DC energy from the panels into the AC energy used by the electrical grid. The specific hardware may change depending on how the Stracker unit is deployed.
Weather Station
The weather station at the top of the unit ensures each unit will return to a safe position during high winds.
Onboard Hardware
An onboard computer uses GPS and other data to control the movement of the Stracker, keeping it in line with the sun during the day and moving the panels to a horizontal position at night and during extreme weather.
LED Lighting
Optional LED lighting under the panel turns on at night when the panel is in the horizontal (stowed) position. The LED lights provide visibility and security without adding unnecessary light pollution.
Following the Sun
Conventional commercial solar was built on an old compromise: bolt panels to a frame facing south, and settle for whatever sunlight happens to cross their path. We’ve use the same size panels to capture up to 70% more energy.
Capturing Sunlight from the Sky and the Ground
Bifacial panels capture sunlight directly from the sun and reflected energy from the ground below, improving overall efficiency.
The Result: 50-70% more energy from the same size panels.

A Complete Energy Platform
Add battery systems and vehicle charging for a complete solution.
EV Charging
Easily integrate Level 2 or DC Fast chargers from your preferred provider directly into the Stracker poles. Start with a few stalls and scale up seamlessly without redesigning your lot's structure.
Behind-the-Meter Storage
Pair your arrays with battery systems to keep critical facility loads running and shave expensive peak demand charges.
Lot Lighting & Shade
Integrated LED lighting on the poles provides nighttime safety, while the massive 26' x 30' arrays provide premium shade to keep vehicles and inventory cool during the day.
Modular & Relocatable
If your parking lot changes, the Stracker units can be repositioned to fit your new layout.
