Solar Energy in Agriculture
Reduce Your Energy Costs and Invest in Your Farm.
Whether it’s running exhaust fans for livestock or processing equipment for harvested crops, there are likely several months out of the year where electricity is one of the farm’s top expenses. While solar power won’t eliminate the need for electricity altogether, it can reduce energy costs. Solar power can also eliminate added costs that electric companies push during electricity peaks.
By installing a solar system, you can draw on the free electricity it produces to offset all or a portion of your monthly power usage. After a few years, the savings on utility costs can be invested back into your farm.
Environmental Benefits for the Agricultural Sector.
Climate change and global warming have been topics of debate for many years, and solar energy drastically minimizes the carbon footprint left by farmers. By capturing the sun’s energy to generate electricity, no harmful atmospheric emissions are released. This is good news for the climate and for everyone who breathes. As a consequence, less fossil fuels are burned, further enhancing the atmosphere’s envelope.
Why Should Your Farm Go Solar Now?
By taking advantage of solar energy solutions and available incentive programs now, your farm will start saving money the day your system is activated, and throughout the life of the solar energy system. USDA REAP (Rural Energy for America Program) grants can help pay up to 25% of the cost of solar installations for agricultural producers with at least 50 percent of their gross income coming from agricultural operations. For more information, go to the US Department of Agriculture website.
Telamon Energy Solutions can help your farm go solar, and help you see savings in real dollars. Rather than continuing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on annual electric bills, it can be used to make operational improvements, purchase new equipment, and operate overall more efficiently.
