Agricultural
- Savings and Costs
I grew up on a farm, so I know you want to focus on what you are growing, not on all the mundane problems like power. I also know that we can always count on the SUN coming up everyday. With Solar Energy, you can count on having power. No Black Outs, No draining of energy to other homes or businesses when you need it the most. You can count on having POWER as long as the SUN shines.
The total cost of a solar system includes the Photovoltaic (PV) system and installation. Your PV system’s cost will depend on a number of factors, including system size and the energy efficiency of your business. A Small-scaled PV systems with built-in inverters that produce about 1,000 watts of power may cost about $8 per watt ($8,000)
Remember, the rebates and incentives can significantly reduce the cost of purchasing a PV system. In addition, the state and federal tax credit can reduce your overall costs much further.
Solar energy is one of our state's most abundant - and least utilized - renewable resources. The
California Solar Initiative
offers cash incentives on solar systems - currently, $2.50 a watt for Agricultural use. California Solar Initiative incentives, combined with federal tax incentives, can cover up to 50 percent of the total cost of a solar system for your farm.
A solar electric system, combined with energy efficiency improvements, can substantially reduce your electric bill. Right now, your system can qualify for $2.50 a watt-30% of a typical installation! Click here to learn
how solar and energy efficiency can save you money.
