Experts with the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State University compiled a fact sheet on how farms can save money by using solar energy to meet their electricity needs.

According to the experts, high installation costs used to be a limiting factor for farms looking to adopt renewable energy sources. However, decreasing costs for solar modules, increasing scale of market development and constant technological advancements have made solar energy a financially savvy investment for many farmers.

Further, due to access to open land, PV solar systems are very compatible with agricultural operations. As the world’s leading solar panel manufacturer, Trina Solar is committed to bringing a reliable and renewable energy source to farms of all shapes and sizes.
