Welcome to SolWeb Technologies

At SolWeb Technologies, we specialize in providing functional, economical, and innovative agrivoltaics solutions for a mature marketplace. Our goal is to help businesses embrace sustainability and harness the power of the sun for a brighter future.

Abstract:

A novel solar energy system, termed the "Solar Web," is proposed, characterized by a resilient, spider-web-like network of suspended cables and lines supporting free-swinging or bracketed solar panels. These panels are interconnected via swivels, sleeves, or hinges, enabling dynamic movement and load redistribution. The web’s robust design accommodates gaps caused by significant events or to allow vertical structures like towers to pass through. Tangential cables are anchored using suspension bridge-like anchors or rebar baskets, stabilized with fabric-separated layers of in situ soil or imported fill. Elevation is achieved through existing or purpose-built vertical structures, which may be static or hoistable with counterweights and motors. Anchors facilitate access to the web, grounding of electrical components, water integration for agrivoltaics or panel cleaning, and co-location of inverters and medium-voltage collection systems. The overhead panels provide partial shading, reducing soil evaporation, lowering ambient temperatures, and promoting water retention. The system enables agrivoltaic applications, including agrisonic, agriphotonic, and electroculture enhancements, making large-scale agrivoltaics feasible. Additionally, the Solar Web supports multi-use land applications, spanning environmentally sensitive areas such as superfund sites, wetlands, or culturally protected lands, mitigating invasive development while enhancing economic value and biodiversity. By disrupting intense weather impacts and prolonged sunlight exposure, the system fosters sustainable land use and scalable renewable energy integration.

SolWeb Applications

Multi-use Land

SolWeb designs can span over farmland. Revolutionizing agrivoltaics. Solweb promotes the following passive benefits:
1. Protective shielding to deflect gusts of wind, and heavy
rainfall and light hail effectiveness correlated to the wind
direction.

2. Irrigation water sharing (used to clean panels) and partial
sun (effect when panels are elevated) produces the
beneficial effect of lower temperatures at the hottest part of
the day and reduced water usage or increased water usage
efficiency on crops. The food energy water nexus optimizes

3. Grazers provide an option for dual usage of range land providing partial shade and encourage grazeland regrowth.

4. Electroculture increases the magnetic field (MF) increases
germination, disease resistance, and energizes micronutrients
increasing 20-30% or more (some studies show up to 300% -

Optional improvement that can benefit agrivoltaics:
• Optional hoist able mast with DC coupled battery to power suspended agriphotonic lighting systems.

Constrained Land

What was once a constraint now is an opportunity.  Span over culturally protected, jurisdictional wetlands, biological habitat, even housing with just an air rights easement.
