Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this solar calculator for farms? +

Our calculator provides estimates based on standard solar calculations used in the industry. For farm-specific applications, we account for typical agricultural energy usage patterns. However, for precise sizing, we recommend consulting with one of our solar experts who can consider all variables specific to your operation.

What factors affect solar system sizing for farms? +

Key factors include: your daily energy consumption, peak sun hours in your location, types of equipment used (irrigation, cooling, etc.), seasonal variations in energy needs, available roof or ground space, and future expansion plans. Our calculator accounts for the essential variables, but a professional assessment will capture all nuances.

Are there special incentives for agricultural solar? +

Yes! Many states offer additional incentives for agricultural solar installations beyond the federal tax credit. These may include grants, low-interest loans, or performance-based incentives. Some utilities also offer special rates for farms with solar. Our team stays current with all available programs to maximize your savings.

How long do farm solar systems typically last? +

Quality solar panels for agricultural use typically come with 25-year performance warranties, and many continue producing electricity well beyond that. Inverters may need replacement after 10-15 years. With proper maintenance, your farm’s solar investment can provide clean energy for decades.
