From understanding the benefits to addressing your concerns, we're here to guide you through the process. Read on to learn more and make informed decisions to power your farm with clean, renewable energy.
-
Generally, all farms are excellent candidates for solar system installations. Farm buildings with large rooftops are excellent for roof-mount solar installations. And, large open spaces are great locations for grolnd-mount solar installations.
Solar (PV) systems work best in locations where there is minimal shading from trees or buildings to maximize sunlight exposure. Solar panels that face south are ideal, but east and west facing solar panels work well too!
-
Reduced electricity costs, long-term savings, energy independence, and environmental sustainability are the main benefits of installing a solar system on your farm. And, a farm solar system increases the value of your property and demonstrates your commitment to sustainability.
-
Yes, there are several financial incentives and programs available to support solar panel installations on farms, including the federal investment tax credit (ITC). Additional provincial and municipal grants and rebates may be available depending on your location.
And, with net metering you get credit for any excess power you send to the electrical grid. Our team can help you explore available incentives to maximize your savings.
-
Net metering allows you to earn credits for excess solar energy you generate and send back to the grid. These credits offset the cost of electricity when solar production is low. Unless you install and become fully reliant on a battery backup system, your farm will remain connected to the grid to access to electricity during periods of low solar production.
-
The payback period for solar panel installation varies depending on your energy usage, system size, incentives, and electricity rates. However, many farmers recoup their investment within a few years and enjoy long-term savings and benefits thereafter.
-
Alberta is known to be one of the sunniest places in Canada—and that makes it a great place to install a farm solar system. In fact, Alberta leads the nation in renewable energy investment. Solar farms and farm solar systems are becoming more common thanks their ability to deliver large amounts of renewable energy.
The long-term rewards of a farm solar system, significantly outweigh the upfront investment. By harnessing solar energy, you can substantially decrease or even eliminate your monthly electricity costs and contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable environment.
-
Yes, farm solar panel systems still generate electricity during the winter months in Alberta. While the amount of sunlight may be reduced compared to the summer months, solar panels can still produce energy even on cloudy or snowy days.
In winter, the amount of solar power you produce each day will vary based on the conditions and depth of snow cover. Even at freezing temperatures, snow will often melt or slide off your solar panels. Some days you’ll cover a significant portion of your electricity needs, others you’ll be almost fully reliant on the grid.
-
Farm solar panel systems are generally maintenance free. There’s no need to clean them, just let Mother Nature take care of it for you.
-
Yes, the power from a farm solar system can power the same things as other electricity sources. Solar power can provide electricity for all areas of your farm or agricultural operation including: irrigation pumps, barns, storage facilities, lighting, and machinery. Depending on your energy needs and available space, we’ll work with you to design a solar system tailored to your farm's requirements.
