What if farmers could double their income from the same land while fighting climate change?

Today on the Clean Power Hour, Tim Montague sits down with two pioneering leaders who are revolutionizing how we think about solar energy and agriculture. Helge Biernath, CEO of Sunzaun (and Sunstall, the mechanical installation company), and Ian Skor, CEO of Sandbox Solar, share groundbreaking insights into vertical solar technology and its game-changing applications in agrivoltaics.

Discover how vertical solar panels are transforming farming:

Learn why upright solar panels running north-south are perfect for agricultural integration
Understand how farmers can maintain 80-90% of their crop production while generating clean energy
Explore real-world applications from Colorado State University's research facilities
See how this technology helps with water conservation, worker protection, and climate resilience

Key insights covered:

Why vertical solar uses only 10-20% of farmland while preserving agricultural operations
How this technology works with commodity crops like alfalfa and corn
The economic benefits for both farmers and solar developers
Challenges with current modeling tools and breakthrough solutions like Spade
Success stories from California's Central Valley to Colorado's research farms

Whether you're a farmer looking to diversify income, a solar developer seeking new opportunities, or simply curious about sustainable agriculture, this episode reveals practical solutions that are starting to be implemented across the United States.
