Hog Farm Solar
Near the end of 2017, we installed 4 separately metered solar arrays on a hog farm in Kansas. The system total was a 378 kW and provided the farm with much more reliable energy at a much less expensive rate. In the end, they no longer have “brown outs” and their payback on the system investment is just under 7 years.
