Our ‘Integrated Vertical Solar Fencing’ system comprises engineered modular components that are manufactured from certified non-combustible and non-corrosive marine grade extruded aluminium, which is also one hundred percent recyclable.

By integrating solar panels vertically, we are maximizing energy capture without compromising valuable ground space in the farming and rural environments, eliminating the large land area typically required for a solar farm installation.
In general, a rough estimate for the land area needed for a solar farm is about 4 to 6 acres per megawatt (MW) of installed capacity. Considering this range, a 5 MW solar farm would require approximately 20 to 30 acres (8 to 12 hectares) of land.

Our system could therefore eliminate the need to locate a dedicated 20 to 30 acres of land and the approximately $1Million initial setup cost.

By offering alternate installation options for farmers and rural land owners to access and benefit from renewable solar power generation, which cumulatively could represent a significant contribution to the uptake and creation of utility scale solar.

Vertical Solar Panels: Efficiency and Advantages in Energy Generation

The efficiency of vertical solar panels has been supported by a study conducted by German scientists from Leipzig University of Applied Sciences. According to their calculations, by changing the standard tilt angle of solar panels, which is usually between 20 and 35 degrees, to a vertical tilt of 90 degrees, the total energy production can increase by almost 7 times, from 58 to 400 gigawatts per year.

The installation of vertical solar panels presents several significant advantages. Firstly, as they do not require ground anchoring, they are ideal for protected natural areas, sealed landfills, and locations with underground wastewater.
Highlighted benefits of vertical solar panels and their resistance to harsh weather conditions.

One of the outstanding aspects of vertical solar panels is that they are bifacial, which means they can generate energy on both sides. Additionally, by orienting themselves from east to west, they take advantage of the low-production hours of conventional installations, such as mornings and evenings. This is especially beneficial for injecting the produced energy into the grid as it is distributed more evenly throughout the day.

Resistance to harsh weather conditions is another notable characteristic of vertical solar panels. The counterweighted tilt system prevents snow accumulation in areas prone to frequent winter snowfall, ensuring continuous power generation. Furthermore, these structures are designed to be sturdy, minimize material usage and have an attractive design.

Growing demand for vertical solar panels

In recent months, the vertical installation of solar panels has gained popularity due to its superior efficiency compared to traditional installation. Projects like Sunzaun in California have demonstrated their success, where a row of bifacial solar panels not only generates energy but also provides shade and wind protection to vine plants, generating 23 kW of power.

These innovative vertical solar panels also find applications in other contexts. For example, they can be used as road barriers to reduce noise and protect residents living near highways. They have also been proposed as barriers for the railway network. Additionally, there are projects in Europe that integrate solar panels into train tracks, efficiently utilizing the available space.

In conclusion, vertical solar panels provide a revolutionary and efficient alternative to traditional systems. Their ability to generate up to 7 times more energy than conventional solar panels, their weather resistance, and their versatility in different locations make them an attractive option for maximizing solar energy production. While they may have some limitations in terms of initial cost and maintenance, their long-term performance guarantee and positive impact on renewable energy generation make vertical solar panels a promising option for the future.
