Agricultural Solar
|
| What do a dairy farmer, a horse owner, and a winery all have in common? They are all great applications for solar power. Just look at these reason why solar makes sense for the agricultural industry. |

Solar Power Goes Where You Need It
|
| Farms often need power in the far corners of their property. With solar power you can put the energy right where you need it. No expensive trenches and wires to run, no power is lost during transmission, and solar can even be made portable to serve multiple locations on your property. |
|
Let the USDA Help
|
| The US Department of Agriculture is offering grants of up to 25% of a project’s cost to help farmers and rural small businesses install renewable energy on their property. Our licensed engineers can help with the grant application process and documentation. |
|
Manage Operating Costs
|
| Solar power systems allow you to lock in utility rates, and are a great way to control operating costs and better manage your business finances. |
|
Harvest the Sun
|
| Photosynthesis utilizes roughly 1% of the sunlight that hits a leaf. Solar panels convert anywhere from 12% to 18% of that sunlight into electricity. Think of electricity as a new cash crop. |
|
Solar is Organic
|
| If you farm and market organic produce, solar power is a perfect compliment to your business. Not only are you producing some of your own clean energy, but you can advertise that you have installed solar to further boost your organic image in the eyes of your customers. What is more organic than solar power? |
