Land for ground-mount, electrical loads that run all day, and a decision-maker who owns the operation. Incorporated B.C. farms are among the strongest solar candidates in the province.
Greenhouses, dairies, packing houses and irrigation systems draw power steadily through daylight hours — when solar produces. And unlike urban commercial buildings, farms usually have the one thing that removes every design constraint: land. A ground-mount array can be oriented for maximum yield and sized to the actual load, not to whatever roof happens to be available.
Optimal tilt and orientation, easy maintenance, no roof structural questions. Land near your electrical service is an asset.
Ventilation, cooling, milking systems, pumping and packing lines consume solar power the moment it's generated — full value.
No landlord, no strata, no head office. The person weighing the investment is the person who owns the asset.
Solar locks a portion of your operating cost at a fixed rate for 25+ years — a hedge most farm inputs can't offer.
The free assessment reviews your BC Hydro bills and rate schedule, available land or roof area relative to your electrical service, seasonal load patterns (greenhouse lighting, irrigation season, milking schedules), and which incentives your corporate structure qualifies for. You get a straight answer on whether solar makes sense for your operation before any design work begins.
