Row Crop Farmers (Dryland & Irrigated):
- Take control of your energy, fuel, and fertilizer costs.
- Potential to reduce electricity consumption by 50% or more.
- Ability to add an ammonia plant to produce fuel and create nitrogen fertilizer.
- Reduced input costs and kept profit within the local economy.
Industrial Ag Production (Dairy Production, Livestock, Greenhouse Operations, Cold Storage Facilities):
- Dairy and livestock farmers use vast amounts of electricity for milking, lighting, ventilating, and heating barns. You can reduce or eliminate your dependence on costly grid electricity by making electricity with SunFarmor generators while accruing substantial cost savings over time. You can store some of the energy in batteries to power nighttime operations.
- By reducing your reliance on the grid, you can reduce risks of power outages or voltage fluctuations that disrupt ventilation systems, feeders, and pumps, crucial to animal welfare and your productivity.
- Like other growers, you will significantly reduce the carbon footprint of your products, unlocking price premiums in the marketplace from companies committed to reducing their Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions.
- If you sell directly to consumers, operating your barns with SunFarmor generators and batteries will open access to premium-priced markets prioritizing sustainable products.
Brownfields to Brightfields (Repurposing Industrial Sites and Decommissioned Landfill Sites):
- SunFarmor generators avoid the high costs of deploying solar on land that can't be disturbed. Owners of our country's 450,000 brownfields can redevelop brownfields and landfills as solar "brightfields" to generate new sources of profit while supporting a clean economy.
- Develop new revenue streams with IRA incentives, and landowners can turn dormant land into a revenue generator. Since EPCs assemble Sun armor generators from domestic steel, the 30% tax credit increases to 40%. Brownfield owners can turn cash flow positive after the first year and earn ROIs above 18 percent.
- Boost Income in Energy Communities. The IRA provides an additional 10% tax credit bonus for solar and projects sited on brownfields in Energy Communities formerly supported by coal, oil, or gas energy generation or processing. The IRA provides an additional 20% tax credit bonus for brownfield projects benefiting low-income or Tribal communities.
