Farms are plentiful in New Jersey and most properties present a perfect opportunity for solar installations.
Farms generally have a high usage due to the use of industrial scale agricultural equipment or simply the extra cost of lighting a horse arena or stable. In addition, to the demand for electricity most farms also have barns and multiple use buildings on the property that serve as the perfect structure for the solar installation.
There Is a Unique Opportunity for Solar on Farms
Solar panels on farms are unique because many times the farm qualifies for both commercial and residential programs. Commercially, going solar through the business run on the farm opens the door to your standard commercial incentives. Many farm owners can fund for the project through Green Power Energy’s programs or through their local Agricultural Creditor. In addition to the commercial incentives that are available, if there is a home on the property, the farm can qualify for a $0 Solar Lease or Solar Loan. Due to the economics of scale, some of the best rates we have ever seen on solar leases have come from solar on farms.
