Numerous worldwide studies of implementations of solar energy provide detailed information and support specific applications as a means to advance solar energy in the agricultural industry. However, many find it difficult to navigate the various regulations, restrictions, and incentives to make an educated decision on whether solar energy is a good fit.
Through our process, solar energy can continue to grow and help farmers diminish their electricity bill, reduce their carbon footprint, and make their farm a more sustainable and successful business.
Solar Energy Boosts Profits
Experts suggest that pork producers need to focus on renewable energy systems if they want to reduce the use of fossil fuels and improve the carbon footprint of their production system. In addition to improving the environmental impacts of their farms, improving the efficiency of the electrical loads and propane use provide viable opportunities for increased profitability.
