Tired of rising power bills cutting into your cash flow every year? Take control of your long-term power costs by installating solar, so that you can harvest your own power.
Solar Farm
EVOLVsolar Vs Other Solar Farm Installation Companies
Installing solar panels on a farm is the next step in the development of energy sustainability. As the leaders in solar farm installations, EVOLVsolar is committed to empowering Western Canadian farmers with solar energy. Our custom-designed systems can heat your watering bowls, power your harvest and enhance your productivity.
While other solar farm installation companies tend to think of a single project on its own, we look at the long-term viability of our practices. Each design we create will help push farmers to more sustainable practices, securing their future and empowering their production. Each farm we empower is just another step in the right direction for a cleaner and better future. That’s how we stand out from others.
Benefits To Go Solar
Why Install A Solar Panel
Save Money on Eletricity
Net metering means that during the day when you’re generating more power than you’re using, the utility company will buy it back from you.
Future Price Surge
Take control of your power bills by locking in the price for the next 30+ years with solar energy, effectively protecting you from rising power prices.
Enhance Property Value
Shifting to solar increases the value of your agricultural operation – simply put, wouldn’t you pay more for a farm with no energy bill?
Embrace Financial Benefits With Solar Farm Installation
Western Canadian farmers have a tremendous opportunity to reduce their energy costs, capitalize on government rebates and incentives, and become a leader in sustainable energy. EVOLVsolar knows this better than anyone else – we’ve been helping farmers move to a more prosperous and viable long-term solution for years.
Our designs can be customized to work with your farming practices and systems. We can create a system that powers animal structures and electric fences, as well as your infrastructure’s lighting, ventilation and cooling systems. It can also power your irrigation system and your equipment, so your production never slows down. It does not matter what you require from your solar power system; our team can construct it to your exact specifications.
With no moving parts and high quality manufacturing standards, solar PV systems are in a class of their own when it comes to durability. Solar modules sold by EVOLVsolar come with a 25-year performance warranty, and generally last much longer than that. The inverters, which convert energy from the Direct Current (DC) produced by the modules to the Alternating Current used on you property, generally have to be replaced after 20 years.
The first step towards installing solar is doing some research and getting a custom quote that takes into account your actual property location and features. At EVOLVsolar, we typically need the following information:
1. Your annual usage in kWh or your monthly billing amount
2. The location that you’d like to install the solar PV array
3. If you’re interested in a roof mount, it also helps that we know the type of roofing (asphalt shingles, metal, etc), the year it was installed and the pitch (e.g. 4/12)
The more information we have, the more accurate our quote will be.
And most importantly, make sure to get solid answers on all your questions – solar PV is a long-term decision that will generally pay you back 3-4 times what you invested over a 25+ year period, but does require an up front investment. It’s important that you feel that you have been listened to and the company you work with will install a quality product designed to stand the test of time.
Solar energy is generated through the use of solar panels, which convert sunlight into electricity. Here’s a simplified explanation of how solar energy
Solar panels: Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells, usually composed of silicon. When sunlight hits these cells, they create an electric field through the photovoltaic effect. The electric field causes electrons to be released from the atoms within the PV cells.
The number of batteries included in an average solar system can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the system, energy needs, and individual preferences. In many cases, solar systems are designed to be grid-tied, meaning they are connected to the utility grid and don’t require batteries. This setup allows excess electricity generated by the solar panels to be fed back into the grid, and homeowners can draw electricity from the grid when solar production is insufficient.
However, if you are interested in an off-grid solar system or want to have backup power during grid outages, batteries are used to store excess energy for later use. The number of batteries needed depends on the desired battery capacity and the amount of energy you want to store.
There are actually 3 different warranties that provide reassurance you’ll be producing power for years to come:
1) Product Warranty – At EVOLVsolar, we only offer panels with a minimum 10-year Product Warranty on materials and workmanship.
2) Performance Warranty – We only choose solar panels that guarantee they’ll produce a minimum 90% of the rated power after 10 years and 82% after 25 years.
3) Service Warranty If there are any labor-related defects from the installation process, EVOLVsolar will repair them free of charge for 3 years after the date of installation.
Making an investment in solar is a personal decision, so only you can answer that. Some questions that you may want to ask yourself include:
Am I concerned about rising power prices? Would I prefer to continue paying my power bills for the next 30 years, or own my own power production? Do I want to invest in my property and raise its market value? Am I concerned about carbon taxes? Do I want to lower my carbon footprint? If the answer to a few of those questions is yes, then solar might be right for you. Of course, we here at EVOLVsolar will work hard to get you all the information you need to make the right decision.
