Farmers and agricultural companies understand that investment in capital can increase their farm’s yield, whether that's crops or livestock. Solar and clean energy electrification can do the same for their operation. They get it!
We assist Ontario farms in assessing their property, comparing solar solutions, and getting competitive quotations from licensed local solar installers.
Installing a solar panel system can be a practical way of lowering energy usage costs and improving long-term operational efficiency on the farm.
We are a clean energy marketplace and consulting service that assists you in evaluating the top solar panels for farm alternatives prior to selecting a contractor. Whether you have a dairy farm, a greenhouse, a grain operation, or livestock facilities, we help you find reputable solar panel suppliers for farms in Ontario and evaluate proposals, systems, equipment, and warranty offerings. Our goal is to help you understand agricultural solar energy projects in Ontario so you can make an informed decision confidently.
On-grid solar systems connect to the electrical distribution network and allow your farm to use solar-generated electricity while also getting electricity from the electrical grid when required. On-grid solar installations are the most commonly used form of solar for agriculture in Ontario because they deliver consistent cost reductions without the need for battery storage.
Hybrid systems include both solar panels and battery storage while maintaining a direct connection to the electrical distribution network. Storing excess electricity generated by the solar panels allows you to use stored electricity to power critical farm operations at times of high demand or during temporary disruptions to electrical services.
Off-grid systems function independently of the utility supplier and are typically best suited for remote farm locations where there are no connections to an existing electrical grid. Battery storage supplies continuous, reliable power for equipment, supporting farm operations through agricultural solar installation in Ontario.
The roofs of barns, sheds, and storage buildings often provide excellent space for installing solar energy systems for farms in Ontario without taking up valuable farmland.
Ground-mounting of solar panels is an ideal option for farms with significant amounts of open land, allowing large-scale installations of solar panels that are easily accessible for regular maintenance and future additions.
Agrivoltaics involves placing solar panels together with crop production or livestock grazing, thereby enabling farms to reduce water evaporation from irrigation and produce renewable energy while making productive use of the same land.
Using solar energy can significantly reduce your farm’s energy bills by producing electricity on-site and giving you predictable expenses regardless of changing utility rates.
By producing your own electricity with solar equipment, you reduce your dependency on the electrical grid and increase your ability to control the amount of electricity necessary to operate your farm daily.
Modern Ontario agricultural solar panels require little maintenance after installation. Routine inspections and regular cleaning enable your solar panels to perform reliably for many years.
Renewable energy generated on your farm enables you to lower your carbon footprint, supports more environmentally friendly agricultural methods, and lowers your dependency on fossil fuels.
Installing solar panels supports customer, partner, and buyer interests in sustainability and environmental responsibility in your agricultural production.
Eligible farm businesses are entitled to join federal and provincial solar funding programs designed to encourage the adoption of clean technology. Examples are the Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit (CT ITC), Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (CCA), Ontario’s SaveOn Energy Retrofit program and the Agricultural Clean Technology (ACT) Program that can assist with reducing project costs. We can help you access grants and tax credits (up to 40-60% credits and rebates).
Depending on electricity usage levels, system size, and applicable incentives, many agricultural solar projects pay back their original investments within 4 to 7 years and begin providing additional annual savings thereafter.
Farms employing renewable energy sources such as solar panels are typically viewed as more desirable by potential buyers due to lower operational costs and increased long-term asset values.

Get StartedWhile many farms across Ontario could potentially be good candidates for solar energy production, each property must be assessed before proceeding. The optimal solution will depend on various factors associated with your property, land, electricity usage, and long-term plans regarding your farm operations.
These factors include:
A comprehensive evaluation of your property and an audit of your energy requirements are the recommended initial steps to determine system size, capacity, and requirements.
Our evaluation process includes reviewing your property characteristics, evaluating your energy needs, and assisting you in comparing qualified contractors supplying Ontario solar panels for farms. When evaluating proposals, equipment, and warranty options, this process allows you to select the best possible alternative in the solar industry that meets the specific needs of your operation.
Find out if your farm is a good fit for solar development.
The price of a solar system for a farm in Ontario will be based on how large the system is and what your needs are as a farmer.
The complexity of your roof, the amount of electrical work required to connect your system, whether or not you need batteries, what kind of utility connection you'll need, the type of building you have on your property, and the type of solar system you want to use will all affect the overall cost solar developers will charge you. Larger systems may be needed by those who consume more electricity. Ground-mounting systems bring additional costs associated with preparing the area where the panels will be installed.
An initial evaluation will assist in determining the most suitable solution for your particular situation.
