Harvest Solar Quarterly Update: Year In Review And Upcoming Highlights

Discover how Harvest Solar advanced renewable energy solutions this year and explore the next chapter in sustainable innovation for businesses.

Year in Review

2025 is officially in the books, and we’re already energized for what comes next. This year pushed us, inspired us, and reminded us why our mission matters. Here’s to even bigger steps forward in 2026, and to everyone who’s been part of the journey so far.

Solar Spotlight: Powering Progress Through Recent Projects 

While we're proud of every project we tackle, here are some recent highlights:

• This 100kW roof mount is ready to go for a local dairy farm! As a first-generation farm with an incredible story, this solar upgrade is a proud next step in their growing operation.
  
  
• A 400 kW ground-mount solar array is now powering this Albion, MI grain-drying facility, an operation with heavy, consistent energy needs. With predictable daily usage, on-site solar is an ideal fit, offsetting power demand and supporting more cost-efficient grain handling.
  
  
• We partnered with Pioneer Resources to bring solar to eight of their facilities, totaling more than 205kW. Over the systems’ lifetime, these installations are expected to generate savings of more than $1 million!
