SOLAR SOLUTIONS FOR ROW CROP GROWERS & FARMS

 

Row crop growers and farms across California are realizing sustained utility-cost savings with solar power.

Energy independence with solar for row crop growers.

Row crop growers in California face a number of issues that impact their balance sheet. Unpredictable weather. Fluctuating market conditions. Labor shortages. And a recent study from the USDA that you could be spending up to 6 percent of your operating costs on energy bills. With costs that high, it’s worth taking a second 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 row crop growers. But what does the ROI look like for you? That’s where Coldwell Solar comes in. We’ve partnered with 15 growers in California to install more than 6 megawatts of solar. Founded in 1986, Coldwell Solar is the #1 family-owned commercial solar company in California. Whether you’re growing cotton, strawberries, lettuce or any other variety of row crop, we’ll customize a solar solution to fit your business.

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.
