Agriculture Installations

Farms and agricultural businesses in Ontario benefit from solar energy to power operations, reduce costs, and increase energy independence.

1. Grid-Tied Agricultural Solar (Net Metering)

Size: 10kW–500kW (depending on farm size and energy demand)
Output: A 250kW system generates ~300,000 kWh/year in Southern Ontario (NRCan, 2023).

Benefit: Offsets electricity costs by selling excess power back to the grid.

Best For: Dairy farms, poultry barns, grain storage, and irrigation systems.

2. Off-Grid Solar for Remote Farms

Size: 10kW–100kW with 50–200 kWh battery banks

Benefit: Provides reliable power in remote locations without utility connections.

Best For: Greenhouses, livestock facilities, and equipment sheds in off-grid areas.

Why Farmers Choose Solar
✔ Ontario receives 1,200–1,400 peak sunlight hours/year (NRCan, 2023)
✔ Reduces energy costs by 50%+ over time as electricity rates rise
✔ Incentives available, including the Agricultural Clean Technology (ACT) program
