RUTE Foundation Systems continues to share its story with the world. SUNTRACKER was recently profiled on the Agrisolar Clearinghouse. The AgriSolar Clearinghouse is a nationwide hub developed by the National Center for Appropriate Technology to connect businesses, landowners, and researchers with trusted resources to support the growth of co-located solar and sustainable agriculture, also known as agrivoltaic development. As a member of the agrivoltaic ecosystem, RUTE was able to share its advances in cattle-grade, high-clearance structures with its readership.
In addition, David McFeeters-Krone was the featured guest on “Let’s Talk Land”. David shared how SUNTRACKER can democratize the development of solar in rural communities without changing their economies. Though solar development is ultimately a financial decision, he and host Sonya Howle discussed some of the ways a landowner can discuss their needs with developers to change the metrics of success to include not just the developer and their shareholders, but also the community and the land itself. Growing evidence is showing that shade from agrivoltaics can help arid regions regenerate the soil.

Agrivoltaics is more than just solar and plants, listen to hear how you, as a landowner, can take active control of your destiny.
About RUTE Foundation Systems:
RUTE Foundation Systems provides the most stable and cost effective support structures for wind and solar generation equipment. RUTE commercialized the RUTE BXG Foundation in 2018, a wind tower foundation based on bridge engineering, that lasts 3 times longer than a conventional foundation and uses 50% less concrete. RUTE SUNTRACKER division started in 2021, a year ahead of the boom in demand for utility scale agrivoltaic solutions.
The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act is projected to triple the demand for wind and solar for over 10 years, perfectly aligned with RUTE’s material reduction and installation efficiency for both BXG and SUNTRACKER products.
