Solar technology provides many benefits to agriculture and AgriBusinesses.

Environmental

• The sun is free and renewable. By installing a solar system at your business, you can make use of one of our most plentiful resources for your electrical needs.
• Possibly the most important environmental benefit is that solar technology is pollution free. Solar systems emit no green house gas (CO2) or chemical by-products. It is perfectly clean.
• Solar systems will not inhibit your business. Solar modules are noiseless and very low maintenance.
• By installing a solar system at your business, you can respect the environment for future generations so that it can be used the way that it was intended.

• A solar system can significantly reduce, and may even eliminate, utility costs for an agribusiness by generating energy during peak demand.
• For every 1 mega-watt hour that a solar system produces, it provides the owner with a Solar Renewable Energy Credit (S-REC). Electrical utilities need to have a certain percentage of their production from renewable sources. These credits can be sold to them on the open market for an extra financial return.
• The government provides tax credits and incentives for solar systems. Solar harvest can help you maximize your financial return.

• Going solar can help you reduce your dependence on depleting fossil fuels and overseas oil and gas.
• With the rise in energy prices, this will reduce your reliance on the utility system rates. For every cent that the utility rates increase, your solar system will become that much more valuable to you.

• Your solar system helps you reduce your transmission and distribution losses due to large power plants miles away. Due to the distance that electricity travels to reach you, some of it is lost in transmission. Because your solar system is local to your business, very little of the electricity is lost before it can be used, thus making it a very efficient power source.
• Solar systems are expandable due to their modular nature.
• Many solar modules are guaranteed for 20 years and are very reliable.
