Problem
The call for solar panels at Riding High Farm began as operating costs continued to increase. Being a non-profit organization, the farm is staffed by volunteers from the surrounding community and supported by donations raised by horse shows and other events the farm holds throughout the year. With monthly electric costs nearing $500 per month, the board needed to explore solar as a possible solution to a problem in unmanageable costs.
Solution
Green Power Energy installed a solar 29.52 kW system on Riding High Farms main barn structure. The array is made of highly efficient products, S-Energy Modules and SolarEdge Inverters and was designed to offset the monthly electric costs that were growing out of control.
Result
Adding the solar panels to their main barn structure reduced operating expenses to enlarge available funds to maintain the upkeep of the farm and the horses. The $500 per month electric bill was controlled and in addition to the electric savings, the farm collects on average in the first 3 years of operations $7,000 per year in SREC income!
Overall Solar Experience
“We felt right from the beginning, a lot of confidence in your abilities as a company. I immediately liked your plan, you were very positive in what you could do. My expectations were far exceeded, we had no glitches or problems.”
