Cut Energy Costs and Gain Independence for Your Farm

More than anyone else, farmers understand the power of the sun. The sun helps make their crops grow, but it can also provide energy for electrical usage. At Artisun Solar we have helped several farmers reduce their cost for electricity on containment facilities, one of the largest uncontrollable costs for these facilities. 

Rising Energy Prices

Farmers are facing increasing utility prices, which eat into profits. Traditional energy sources, like diesel and utility power, are expensive, high-maintenance, and vulnerable to supply chain issues. Agricultural operations in remote areas often struggle to secure reliable energy.

The Power of Renewable Energy for Ag Businesses

Solar offers a reliable, on-site energy source that powers key operations such as containment facilities, irrigation systems, and farm equipment. By switching to solar, farmers can control energy costs and reduce reliance on fluctuating utility prices.

Benefits of Installing Solar

Lower monthly utility bill

Protection from rising utility costs

Increased property value

Access to tax credits and depreciation incentives

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Development in Agriculture

How much can solar save me on energy costs?

Solar can significantly reduce your monthly utility bills, often by up to 75%, depending on the size of your system and energy needs. Many farms and ag businesses experience a quick return on investment due to lower utility costs and available tax credits.

Can solar be integrated with water-saving technologies such as solar-powered pumps for better sustainability?

Absolutely. Solar-powered water pumps are increasingly being used in agricultural settings to improve sustainability. These systems reduce the need for diesel-powered pumps and can be used to efficiently distribute water for irrigation​.

Are there incentives or subsidies specifically for agricultural solar projects?

Yes, there are government subsidies and grants, such as those provided by the USDA’s Rural Energy for America Program (REAP), which support the adoption of renewable energy technologies in agriculture. These can cover a portion of installation costs and improve ROI​​.

How reliable are solar systems in agricultural settings?

Solar systems are designed to be highly reliable and low-maintenance. Once installed, they provide consistent power for decades, helping you reduce dependence on utility providers and manage energy costs more effectively. Our systems are built to withstand the demands of farm operations.
