The Bertens have a poultry farm in Southern Ontario. After another year of surging energy costs, they decided to build an on-farm Solar PV system, offsetting roughly 95% of their consumption, while gaining independence from the grid.
Solar is a smart choice for Canadian poultry farmers, who pay some of the highest electricity rates. You can expect paybacks of 5-10 years on a 30 year investment.
The numbers improve greatly if you can take advantage of grants such as the Agriculture Clean Technology (ACT) grant, or the Poultry and On-Egg Farm Investment Program (PEFIP). If you’re eligible to borrow from Farm Credit Canada your payback on equity invested could be less than 2 years! Plus solar provides great tax benefits.
Solar is now cheaper than buying power from your utility — considering the rising cost of electricity, and dramatic cost reductions in solar.
