Why Go Solar for Your Farm?
Solar power is a smart financial choice for farms, helping to reduce energy costs and stabilize operating expenses while providing protection against fluctuating utility rates. It also increases property value, supports sustainable practices, and promotes a more self-sufficient, resilient farm. Solar energy can power essential equipment, storage facilities, and irrigation systems, reducing dependency on traditional fuel sources and enhancing overall efficiency.

How much does it cost to go solar?You can go solar with zero down payment, this allows you to get a system installed without any money out of pocket. We'll install the panels on your roof and handle all of the costs associated with the installation and maintenance of the system. In exchange, you pay off the panels at a fixed rate, which is significantly lower than the cost of electricity from the grid. This means that from the very first month, you can start saving money on your electricity bills, and as the cost of electricity continues to rise, your savings will only increase. And for a limited time, we're running a 12 months without payment promotion. This means if you go solar with us you we'll cover an entire year of bills for you!

What are the benefits of going solar?There are several financial benefits to going solar. Firstly, installing solar panels can significantly reduce or even eliminate your monthly electricity bills, depending on the size of your solar system and your energy usage. This can be anywhere from $100-$300+ every month, which will add up to thousands of dollars over the panels' lifetime (25 years). Secondly, solar panels can increase the value of your property, making it a smart investment for the future. Lastly, you can take advantage of government incentives. There is up to a 30% federal ITC that allows you to write off 30% of the total system cost on your taxes for that year - just another benefit that adds up along with all the other great qualities of going solar!

Do I need to be a homeowner to go solar?As long as you own the property you are living on, we can do ground mount systems & off grid solar systems! However, these types of mounts are typically more expensive than a traditional roof mount which is why we encourage going solar on your home or building. We also do solar for large agricultural operations - projects like these can potentially save you thousands upon thousands of dollars!!$$

What is net metering?One of the advantages of having a solar panel system installed on your home is the ability to generate excess electricity that can be sold back to the grid. This is known as net metering, and it allows you to earn credits on your utility bills for the excess energy they generate. This is great in the winter or cloudy days when your panels aren't producing as much, your metering credits will cover you so you don't end up paying for energy again! This will make your electricity bills significantly lower.
