Thinking about solar panels for your farm? A solar PV system will lower your energy bills, help reduce water usage, protect your operations from power outages, create higher ROI, and identify your business as a leader in sustainability.

Solar powered systems still lead the way in renewable energy sources. And the costs have significantly decreased in the past decade. But it’s critically important to choose an ethical solar company to handle your installation.

Power outages place a burden on residents. Abrupt loss of electricity can cause property damage, disruptions to productivity, and pose health and safety risks.

Solar energy has positive impacts on a variety of different fronts. For most solar adopters, a combination of sustainability and environmental concerns, increased energy security, and desire to pay less for power are at the top of their list of reasons for choosing solar energy. But solar power can also provide a larger social good than merely mitigating our impact on the environment. A recent project we worked on for a local non-profit is a great case study for solar’s social impact.

Given the recent news that CO2 levels are higher than they’ve ever been in the span of human existence, a “war-time” solution to climate change is what’s needed. Might it be possible to decarbonize the economy through a country-wide switch to electric appliances?

The Biden administration’s new jobs, infrastructure, and climate plan was unveiled on March 31st, 2021. Titled the American Jobs Plan, it will have wide-ranging impacts on the economy and notably the clean energy sector. The White House calls this “the moment to reimagine and rebuild a new economy,” and their ambitious investment package just might live up to the hype. What should solar consumers and those who work in the solar industry take away from the plan?
