Solar Panels for Farms, Shops, and Rural Properties in Spokane and North Idaho

Solar installation for rural homes and farms is a smart investment, reducing the impact of cost and service volatility in the energy sector. East Washington’s dry climate, high elevation, long summer days, and cool winter weather make it ideal for solar power generation. Our professionally designed systems can cut annual electricity costs by 50-70% or more, potentially eliminating your bill in high-sun-exposure settings, and ensure access to electricity during outages.

 

We offer many ways to power your farm with solar energy:

 

· Incorporate rooftop solar panels on barns and warehouses

· Float solar panels on ponds

· Repurpose unused land for ground-mounted solar panels

· Add dual-purpose ground panels, protecting animals, crops, or equipment

​​

Our raised ground solar system designs work in harmony with your operation, allowing you to operate tractors and machinery, graze livestock, or cultivate crops such as leafy vegetables, potatoes, berries, and apples beneath solar panels.

​

What Can You Power with Agricultural Solar Energy Systems?

Solar panels for rural properties can power irrigation, cold storage, and other farm equipment, often relied on during the hottest months, when utility rates are highest, providing an excellent alternative to costly, increasingly unreliable grid-produced electricity. Powering your farm with solar energy also lets you leave high-maintenance, noisy, potentially dangerous diesel generators in the rearview mirror. Pairing a professionally designed solar energy system with solar battery storage enables 24/7/365 use, allowing you to use solar for lighting, fencing systems, barn and greenhouse heaters, tank and hose deicers, workshops, and offices, reducing annual utility costs.

​

When Batteries May Not Be Worth It

Though battery storage offers peace of mind and security in a variety of situations, Washington State’s comparatively low energy rates and less aggressive time-of-use pricing may not make sense if you have a limited budget. In these situations, we recommend installing solar panels first, but designing your system for battery integration later, when technology becomes more widely available, and prices fall, or when outages become more common and investing in solar battery storage becomes a priority for your family.
