Agricultural Solar
Farms and Vineyards
Taking Charge of Their Power.
Agricultural energy costs have reached unsustainable levels, crushing profits with energy expenses accounting for up to 40% of total farm expenditure in many operations. From irrigation systems working around the clock to refrigeration units preserving your harvest, agricultural operations need every advantage to remain competitive.
The Future of Farming With Solar.
The agrivoltaics sector has more than doubled from 27,000 acres in 2020 to over 62,000 acres by 2024, producing 10GW of clean energy. Technological improvements and plummeting costs mean more farms are moving toward solar for increased control over expenses, energy use, and production. Solar is a strategic investment in the future of farming. Clean energy, energy storage, and powerful battery backup systems provide farms, dairies, vineyards, and livestock operations with reliable power for remote operations, reduced equipment costs, irrigation savings, and protection against rolling blackouts and extreme weather events that are becoming increasingly more common.
Agriculture was one of the first industries to embrace solar, driven by economic incentives from government subsidies, tax breaks, and financing programs. With modern agriculture being incredibly energy intensive, rising and fluctuating costs significantly impact the bottom line. Solar energy, combined with various tax incentives and credits, provides a range of benefits that address these concerns and more.
Overall, integrating solar energy into agriculture empowers farmers to maximize efficiency, increase productivity, and cultivate a more sustainable and resilient farming operation. Whether you operate a small rural family farm or a large-scale agricultural operation, Scudder Solar has helped agri-businesses of all sizes decrease operating costs, add value to their property, and pave the way for a sustainable, profitable future.
