Why Farms and Ranches In Idaho Are Installing Solar!

Folks in Idaho have long been known for their independent nature and their passion for individualism! So, it comes as no wonder that so many here continue with the pioneer spirit when it comes to leading the way into the future with green energy!

And it makes sense, after all Idaho is a state with abundant sunshine, making it an ideal place for solar energy! Solar PV and solar thermal can provide farms and ranches with a number of benefits, including reducing energy costs, increasing sustainability, and improving resilience to climate change just to name a few! Let’s talk more about those facts…

Reduce Energy Costs

One of the biggest benefits of solar photovoltaic and solar thermal for farms and ranches is that it can help to reduce energy costs! Solar panels can generate electricity for a fraction of the cost of traditional energy sources, such as fossil fuels and solar thermal helps reduce the cost of heating water dramatically. This can save farmers and ranchers a significant amount of money on their monthly energy bills!

Improve Resilience to Climate Change AND Market Changes!

Climate change science is up for debate but more extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods, do seem to be becoming more common. This can damage crops and livestock, and make it difficult for farmers and ranchers to operate their businesses.

Solar energy solutions like solar PV and solar thermal can help farms and ranches to become more resilient to climate change by providing a ready source of power and hot water even when weather becomes unpredictable. For instance, many people don’t realize how well our solar thermal systems work even on cloudy days! Renewable energy can even help farmers and ranchers to reduce their water consumption by using more up to date water pump systems in collaboration with solar thermal.

Government Incentives for Solar

There are a number of government incentives available to help farms and ranches install solar. The federal government alone offers a 30% tax credit for the cost of solar panels! REAP grants and other programs make it so your install is practically paid!

Considering Solar?
Solar energy offers a number of benefits for farms and ranches in Idaho and the Treasure Valley! Solar energy can help farms and ranches to reduce energy costs, increase sustainability, and improve resilience to climate change.

Why Consider Solar Thermal for Your Idaho Home?

Lots of people are familiar with traditional solar power, but may not know what solar THERMAL is! Solar thermal is a renewable energy technology that uses the sun’s heat to generate hot water or to heat your home. Solar thermal systems can be used to provide all or a portion of your hot water needs, and they can also be used to supplement your home’s heating system.

There are many reasons why you should consider adding solar thermal to your home. Here are just a few:

Save money on your energy bills. Solar thermal systems can save you money on your energy bills by reducing your reliance on fossil fuels. In fact, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that solar thermal systems can save homeowners an average of $2,000 per year on their water heating bills.
Reduce your carbon footprint. Solar thermal systems are a clean and renewable energy source, which means they don’t produce any emissions that contribute to climate change. By installing a solar thermal system, you can help reduce your home’s carbon footprint and make a positive impact on the environment.
Increase your home’s value. Studies have shown that homes with solar thermal systems sell for more than homes without them. This is because buyers are increasingly looking for homes that are energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
Increase your home’s comfort. Solar thermal systems can help keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This can lead to a more comfortable and energy-efficient home for you and your family.
Increase your home’s security. Solar thermal systems can help make your home more secure by making it less attractive to burglars. This is because solar thermal systems are often installed in hard-to-reach places, such as on the roof.

If you’re looking for a way to save money, reduce your carbon footprint, and increase the value of your home, then solar thermal is a great option. Solar thermal systems are a clean, renewable, and efficient way to heat your water and your home.

Here are some additional things to consider when deciding whether or not to add solar thermal to your home:

The cost of installation. The cost of installing a solar thermal system varies depending on the size of your home, the type of system you choose, and the installer you hire. However, the cost of solar thermal systems has been declining in recent years, and many state and federal government programs offer incentives to help offset the cost of installation.
The amount of sunlight your home receives. Solar thermal systems work best in areas with a lot of sunlight. If your home doesn’t receive a lot of sunlight, you may need to purchase a larger system or consider a different type of renewable energy technology.
Your home’s heating and cooling needs. If your home has a high demand for hot water or heating, then a solar thermal system may be a good option for you. However, if your home’s hot water and heating needs are relatively low, then a solar thermal system may not be worth the investment.

Overall, solar thermal is a great option for homeowners who are looking for a way to save money, reduce their carbon footprint, and increase the value of their home. If you’re curious about solar thermal for your Idaho home get in touch! We would love to chat with you about all we can offer!
