Harnessing solar energy is a game-changer for farms and agricultural operations. By investing in solar, you can boost your productivity, lower costs, and contribute to a sustainable future. Here’s why solar is a smart choice for farmers:
Solar can cut your energy costs by 20-50%, allowing you to redirect funds towards essential farm operations.
Installing solar can increase your land’s value, making it a more attractive investment for future generations.
Solar power helps reduce your carbon footprint, promoting environmentally-friendly farming practices that can attract eco-conscious consumers.
Solar reduces dependence on utility companies, providing stable energy and potentially powering your home during outages.
Agrovoltaics allow you to combine solar energy generation with crop production. By installing solar panels above crops, you can optimize land use, generate clean energy, and enhance crop yields.
Whether you’re a small family farm or a large agricultural operation, we design custom solar solutions to meet your unique energy needs.
Solar reduces dependence on utility companies, providing stable energy and potentially powering your home during outages.
Solar panels have a lifespan of 25-30 years with minimal maintenance, backed by warranties of 25 years or more.
Benefit from the 30% Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit and various state incentives.
1. 10% for Energy Communities: Projects located in former coal or fossil fuel-dependent areas.
2. 10% for Low-Income Communities: Projects located in qualified low-income areas.
3. 10% for Domestic Content: Projects that use U.S.-made components.
4. 10% for Rural/Underserved Areas: Projects in rural or underserved areas may qualify for additional incentives.
These stackable incentives can significantly reduce the overall cost of solar installations.

Finally, after inspections and connection are complete, you’re able to begin using your new system. You can feel good about the environmental impact you’ll have and cost savings you’ll experience by switching to renewable energy.
For most people, solar provides a financial benefit over the life of the system. How much benefit is determined by your energy usage and electricity rates. To understand what type of return on your investment you may get, contact us for a free energy evaluation.
The cost of your solar system depends on the amount energy that you need it to produce, where its located on your property and how you connect it. A typical 10kW, roof-mounted and grid-tied system costs about $30,000 on average.
By investing in solar energy, the government allows you to deduct a percentage of the system’s total cost when you file your taxes. This lowers your tax obligation, saving you money.
In most cases, yes. For traditional grid tied systems, you sell some or all of the power you produce directly to the utility company, then buy it back when you need it. Most utility providers also charge a small transmission fee for the use of their infrastructure.
We can help those requiring financing in a variety of ways, by connecting them to traditional lending options, or by offering in-house leasing options.
Depending on the system you install, the typical maintenance that is required is minimal. But for the few things that are needed, we offer an extended maintenance plan so you don’t have to worry about it!
In most cases, yes, but not always. We take a practical approach to our energy consultation and tell you if we think solar is a good investment for you.
