Going solar offers long-term financial benefits for farmers because there is a direct connection between managing the risks of climate change and the future financial well-being of their agricultural concerns.

Beyond the direct financial benefits of investing in solar, installing solar panels can also help protect your business against other risks: power shortages and relatively high electricity price increases. By installing solar, you will be able to lock in the price of your energy supply and reduce the business’s reliance on an unpredictable source of power. That makes it much easier for companies to budget and plan for the future.

Solar energy, as you well know, however, is only as good as the sunshine it receives, and this is where combinations of wind and solar come into their own. Wind turbines can run day and night, keeping your batteries charged all the time.

The image on the left here shows small wind turbines added to each set of panels. They are cost effective and can keep most farmhouses and warehouses powered. For farms requiring more power for three-phase pumps for irrigation, some of our larger turbines really get the job done.

Financial incentives are not the only commercial benefits solar offers a business. Others include:

Winning more customers: Many current and potential customers are attracted to businesses that are committed to sustainability. Examples abound of businesses that have won large contracts because they have invested in solar – buyers love products and services that are sun-powered! In addition, investing in a solar installation is a great opportunity to promote your organization and raise awareness of your offering in the community.

Improving employee satisfaction: Employees are increasingly looking to work for sustainability-minded companies. By demonstrating your company’s commitment to solar power, your employees more invested in the company’s vision and mission and thus are more aligned and productive.

Supporting the local economy: When a business contracts with a solar company, workers in the local market complete the installation. By investing in solar projects, your business increases the availability of high quality, good paying jobs. Those workers could become your future customers, too.

Scalable System

Wind and solar energy can be combined into the same electrical feed supplying your irrigation systems. Some farmers use whatever excess energy they produce to pump water to tanks on higher ground to be gravity fed back down the hill as needed.

Wind turbine controllers tackle excess energy produced that cannot be sent to an already full battery system. The controllers direct this extra energy to large “Heat Dump” resistors. This can be connected to a hot water cylinder too.

Security Stations

Being able to power up a remote surveillance system has been a challenge for a lot of farms. Now it’s easy, with the combo wind and solar security tower powerhouse producing enough power to help you keep an eye on things remotely.

The system generally consists of a mast mounted turbine, solar panel, WiFi link to the main house/office and security cameras that monitor the more remote or security-sensitive areas.

The new generation of security cameras can set up hot spots in the camera’s field of view. If that “Hot Spot ” changes, it records and even sends you an alert to your mobile phone, and email address.

Cameras have features like:

– 1080p Full HD, 30FPS
– Built-in microphone
– Night Vision
– Hot Spot recording and alerts
– Central Monitoring of Camera’s status
– Live feed to the recording station
