SOLAR SOLUTIONS FOR WALNUT GROWERS & FARMS

Growing walnuts is truly a labor of love. The walnut shell accounts for half of each nut, making walnuts one of the most energy-intensive crops out there. The walnut drying process is also highly energy-intensive. The sheer energy costs involved in bringing walnuts from the orchard to the table have many walnut farmers moving toward more sustainable solutions like solar. Why? Because solar can dramatically reduce energy costs today while putting the infrastructure in place for tomorrow.

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 walnut 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 to help you dramatically reduce (and even eliminate) your energy costs. We’re a family-owned business built on family values.
