SOLAR SOLUTIONS FOR GROWERS
Energy independence with solar for growers.
Growers in California face a number of issues that impact their balance sheet. Fluctuating market conditions. Labor shortages. A move towards automation. And a recent study from the USDA that you could be spending up to 6 percent of your operating expenditures on energy bills. With costs that high, it’s worth taking another look at solar. Federal and state incentives and California’s Net Energy Metering Aggregation (NEMA) have the potential to dramatically accelerate the ROI on solar for growers. But what does the ROI look like for your farm? That’s where we come in. Founded in 1986, Coldwell Solar is the #1 family-owned commercial solar company in California. We partner with growers of tree nuts, citrus, grapes and a variety of row crops to help you dramatically reduce (and even eliminate) your energy costs.
Featured Customer Story
We partnered with Faria Farms to build a 2-megawatt solar energy system that delivers power across multiple contiguous properties, taking advantage of California’s Net Energy Metering Aggregation to bundle power for 27 metered facilities, from remote pumps to large buildings.
