Five Star Reviews

Grid-Tied

With grid-tied solar panels, you can generate your own energy while remaining connected to the electrical grid and receive credits when excess energy is sent back to the grid. No batteries are required!

Off-Grid Solar

Become energy independent with an off-grid solar PV system. Store excess energy in batteries for use at night, on a cloudy day. Ideal for cottages, cabins, and homes that aren’t connected to the grid.

Roof Mount Solar

Solar racking is mounted directly to the roof. This system is ideal for buildings with good exposure to the sun with few obstructions and little shading.

Ground Mount Solar

Ground mount systems are typically used in large-scale solar installations or in cases where the roof of a building is not suitable for solar panel installation.

How Does a Farm Solar-Powered System Work

How

In simple terms, solar energy is generated when solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. Solar modules (panels) consist of multiple photovoltaic cells that harness the energy of sunlight photons by passing it through a semiconducting material. Through a physical and chemical reaction, this process causes the generation of direct current (DC) energy which an inverter converts to alternating current (AC) to be used to power your home.

Installing solar panels on your farm allows you to generate your own electricity and reduce your reliance on the grid. This means that you can potentially save money on your monthly energy bills, as you will be using less power from traditional energy sources.

Frequently Asked Questions About Agricultural Solar Solutions

FAQs

We have been designing, installing and maintaining clean energy systems for homeowners since 2017.

How Do Solar Photovoltaic (Pv) Panels Work?
Solar panels absorb the sun's energy throughout the day and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. Most homes and businesses run on alternating current (AC) electricity, so the DC electricity is then passed through an inverter to convert it to usable AC electricity. At that point, you either use the electricity in your house or send it back to the electric grid.
What Are the Environmental Benefits of Solar Energy?
Solar power, like other renewable energy resources, has many environmental and health benefits. Going solar reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change, and also results in fewer air pollutants like sulfur dioxide and particulate matter, which can cause health problems.
How Does Solar Impact My Property Values?

Studies have shown that farms with solar energy systems sell for more than homes without them. In most parts of the country, going solar will actually increase your property value.

Will I Still Receive an Electric Bill if I Have Solar Panels?
Unless your solar energy system includes battery storage and you are fully off the grid, you will still receive a bill from your utility. However, you can dramatically reduce your bill, or even cut the amount you owe to $0, with a solar panel system that matches your energy use
How Long Will My Solar Power System Last?
In general, solar panels are very durable and capable of withstanding snow, wind, and hail. The various components of your solar power system will need to be replaced at different times, but your system should continue to generate electricity for 25 to 35 years.
Do My Solar Panels Produce Energy When Sun Isn’t Shining?
The amount of power your solar energy system can generate is dependent on sunlight. As a result, your solar panels will produce slightly less energy when the weather is cloudy, and no energy at night. However, because of high electricity costs and financial incentives, solar is a smart decision even if you live in a cloudy city.
What if My Roof is in Poor Condition?
Your solar energy system will last for more than 25 years. The panels have been found to last for decades, so it is recommended that if your roof is in need of repair or doesn’t have a lot of years left it makes sense to replace the roof and install solar at the same time.
