Are solar panels for farms a good investment?

Geo Green Power specializes in large-scale solar panel systems for farms and agriculture. There are significant financial returns to be achieved by generating and using your own electricity with solar farms. Interested in the benefits and costs of solar panels for farms?

Can solar power a rural farm?

Bringing electricity to rural farmland is often a challenge due to the distance between electrical sources and the areas electricity is needed. One of the most convenient uses of solar on farms is to provide power to non-grid-connected areas.

How do I choose the best solar panels for my farm?

When it comes to choosing solar panels for use on your farm, there are a few things that can have an impact on the type of panels that are best suited for you. If you’re using an off- or on-grid system to provide power to your main living quarters, then high-efficiency solar panels are likely to be your best bet.

Can a ground-mounted solar panel be installed on a farm?

Depending on the lease terms, ground-mounted solar may or may not be allowed on the site. If it is allowed and current farming operations are suitable for a ground-mounted solar PV array or if unused land exists, ground-mounted solar PV may be an option. How can I reduce soil compaction when installing ground-mounted solar panels?

How can livestock manage vegetation under solar panels?

Foraging livestock can manage vegetation under solar arrays, which can be considered at the early phases of solar planning and installation by seeding appropriately and raising modules, wires, and electrical boxes. Livestock can reduce the maintenance costs of trimming beneath panels and reduce the need to use herbicide.
