When considering ways to help reduce operating expenses for your business, a solar investment should be at the top of your list. Harvest Energy Solutions can help design a system specific to your application requests, to overcome an array of challenges and help you be on your way to energy independence.

With electricity costs continually on the rise, you can stabilize those expenses and increase profit margins with solar energy, regardless of factors like grain market fluctuation. With the investment in a photo-voltaic system, the farmer can take advantage of a 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit, can depreciate 85% of the system cost and get awarded the USDA’s REAP Grant (Rural Energy for America Grant). Depending on the state, even SREC's (Solar Renewable Energy Credits) are available. We do all of the contacting and footwork for you to make it hassle free and provide thorough breakdowns of each, so you are fully informed of the system features and benefits. 

Harvest Energy Solutions recently installed a 30kW Solar System in Western Kentucky for a row crop farming operation, in which the customer took advantage of the many incentives Harvest offers and advocates for. This featured system pictured above, will generate over 41,500 kilowatt-hours annually and generate an estimated $284,894 in savings over the systems lifetime. The photo-voltaic system’s benefits will help increase profit margins for the next several decades, see a 5-year return and most importantly, increase their energy and financial independence.
