Power For A New Kind Of Farm
Premium Tier 1 Panasonic™ Panels for Farms In Iowa
A growing number of farms and agricultural businesses in Iowa are investing in solar.
It’s easy to see why; with the ever-increasing costs of traditional power sources, solar panels provide business owners with a way to lock in highly affordable energy costs for decades, thereby increasing their bottom lines. What’s more, it’s becoming increasingly common for retailers to want more sustainable supply chains. So, having solar panels installed can better position agricultural businesses for the future.

We install Tier-1 solar panels for farms that are engineered to outperform others on the market. Sourced from the industry’s most trusted manufacturers, including Panasonic™, our solar panels:

Why Should Farms Invest In Solar Energy?
Co-Locating Solar and Crop Production
Studies from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory have demonstrated a marked benefit conferred between crops and solar panel placement, including better and more high-quality yields. This means solar panel installation provide multiple benefits, rather than one.
Excess Energy Sale
Solar panel arrays will often produce more energy than the structures they’re designed for can use, the byproduct of which their owners can sell back to the commercial power grid or local energy cooperatives for a substantial profit. This effectively turns a regular farm into a dual-purpose solar farm.
Greener Agriculture, Better Business
A 2017 CSR study found that “87% of Americans will purchase a product because a company advocated for an issue they cared about…”. Farmers who convert to solar may actually see more business from these markets than ones who don’t.
