From Barns to Solar Farms: Unlock Energy Savings for Your Agriculture Business
The sun has always been essential to agriculture, nurturing crops and drying harvests. Now, with Trifecta Solar, your farm can harness solar power in new, game-changing ways—generating clean, renewable energy to meet your everyday needs. Imagine powering your deep-well pumps, heating and cooling your barns, running essential equipment, and brightening your home—all while cutting costs and contributing to a sustainable future.
Farms are uniquely suited for solar power. With vast barns and open spaces, they’re the perfect canvas for agricultural solar systems. Whether you install solar panels for farm buildings or use untouched acres for a ground-mounted system, you’ll unlock the potential to save money, reduce energy reliance, and future-proof your operation.
Real Stories, Real Savings
Take the story of California rancher Dave Roberti as an example of what’s possible with agricultural solar panels. Dave runs a 6,000-acre operation with 450 cattle pairs and 2,500 acres of alfalfa production. Facing annual electricity costs of $150,000 to power eight deep-well pumps, he turned to solar energy to transform his bottom line.
After exploring his options, Dave chose a 500-kW photovoltaic (PV) system consisting of nearly 2,500 solar panels for farms, installed on three acres of unused ranchland. The panels were fitted with a single-axis pivot system that tracks the sun throughout the day, producing more than 1.2 million kW of electricity per year—enough to fully power his well pumps.
“The system is designed to meet my average use,” Roberti explains. If the system overproduces, Dave receives credits from his utility provider for the excess energy. With meticulous planning, his solar contractor analyzed five years of utility bills to perfectly size the system to fulfill his needs without overshooting.
"The best part?" Dave says, “I’ve traded an electricity bill for a mortgage payment. And in 10 years, once the system is paid off, I’ll have free electricity.”
Transform Your Farm with Solar Power
By installing agricultural solar systems, you’re not just reducing your energy bill—you’re taking control of your farm’s future. Thousands of forward-thinking farmers have taken this step, using solar panels to power their farms, and some are even building solar farms.
A solar farm lets you become your very own energy provider, producing more power than you need and selling the excess back to local utilities. This doesn’t just protect against rising electricity costs; it creates a reliable income stream that diversifies your farm’s revenue. Solar farms range in size—from a few acres to hundreds—and are an incredible way to make underutilized land highly profitable, year after year.
