Renewable Energy for Agriculture
Solar Panels for Farms and Agriculture
Like many industries, agriculture faces high operating costs. Electricity, fuel, machinery, building maintenance and repairs are only a few of the many increasing costs on top of managing environmental impact.
Solar panels are a capital investment adding infrastructure to farms with the intent of offsetting electricity costs in both the short-term and long-term. Our customers have experienced incredible results by adding solar panels to subsidize their operating costs and protect them from future electricity rate increases.
More importantly, many farms are family run businesses and the goal of setting up the business for future growth and longevity is important, especially when handing over the business to future generations. Managing long-term costs by implementing programs like the installation of solar panels, is necessary in todays environment to guarantee long-term success.
There are many Federal incentives from the Canadian Government for agriculture businesses who add solar power to their operations.
Current BC Hydro rebate for agricultural solar installations: Ranges from $5,000 to $10,000 depending on eligibility.
BC Hydro Energy Storage Program: Offers 80% to 90% off the cost of battery systems.
This is especially relevant for farms dealing with power reliability issues, high demand and power factor charges, or looking to store excess solar generation for later use.
