Welcome to SolWeb Technologies
SolWeb Technologies changes the solar industry making it RELAVENT, COMPEDITIVE, and DYNAMIC. Panels are now completely unintrusive; spanning high over terrain using cables instead of rigid steel. This simple change of orienting the panels vertically and high in the air creates a cascading effect dramatically improving every metric of solar development and the land under it.
SolWeb is derived from the spider-web-like network of suspended cables and lines supporting swinging solar panels, capturing the sun like a fly in a spider web.
These panels are physically and electrically interconnected via swivels, bearing 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 https://www.energy.gov/eere/solar/foundational-agrivoltaic-research-megawatt-scale-farms-funding-programnnected using suspension bridge-like anchor cables and rebar baskets, stabilized with fabric-separated layers of stabilized soil. 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 with 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 encouraging grassland 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 hoistable 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.
