The Sunzaun is located on the Somerset Gourmet Farm, a winery in Somerset, CA. 43 bifacial modules with a total power of 23 kW are installed vertically and connected to a microinverter and two batteries. Aztec Solar Inc., a solar energy solutions provider based in Sacramento, CA, made the layout and the electrical design of this site.
The Sunzaun follows the hilly area of the vineyard over 200 feet and supplies the farm with electricity mainly in the morning and in the afternoon. Besides the provided shading this vertical installation enables the farmer to move his harvesters next to the Sunzaun. In this way, winegrowing and the production of renewable energy increase the efficiency of land use.
