What incentives or grants are available for agricultural solar projects? 
Ag operations use Investment Tax Credits, SREC, USDA REAP grants, and depreciation to improve their payback on solar installation. Harvest Solar can help you navigate these programs.

2. Design, Engineering, Permitting & Approval

Once a customer moves forward, the solar design team goes to work. A 2nd visit may be necessary to take measurements and gather additional pictures. Our team will create a custom system, designed to shrink your energy bill. Our Project Coordinators will make sure that all of the permits and paperwork your city and local utility company require are taken care of. Typically there is very little action needed from the customer at this phase.

3. Installation & Activation

Our team will reach out to you to schedule an installation date that works best. On installation day, our team will make sure everything goes smoothly and keep on track to get the system operational. The local utility and municipality will need to give final permission for Harvest Solar to connect your panels to the grid and start generating clean energy. This is called Permission to Operate (PTO), and once your panels are ready to be turned on, the savings will start rolling in!
