AGRIBUSINESS SOLAR
Harnessing the power of the sun
through solar energy offers a cost-effective approach to agriculture, significantly reducing operational expenses and increasing financial savings by modernizing traditional farming practices.
Remarkably, we can now fit 1 megawatt of panels in less than a 5-acre footprint. Our agricultural clients often opt for sun-tracking arrays due to their superior power yield, resulting in significantly higher financial savings. With this solution, 1 acre typically yields $50,000 in energy cost offsets. For sites where ground space is limited, we offer solar support structures that allow for equipment or material storage underneath. Rest assured, all components utilized by Pickett Solar are meticulously designed for both simplicity and long-term reliability.

Additionally, this approach minimizes crop displacement, ensuring both financial and agricultural efficiency.

By combining federal tax credits, depreciation and USDA grants, you can actually save on half of the initial cost within the first year.

Keep in mind, you will start earning a return on your investment starting the first year, and can even start earning a payback in less than 4 years.
Pickett Solar helped design a 1/3 megawatt solar farm to offset our energy needs within our packing facility, our cold storage, and all of our ag pumps on this ranch. We have been operational for six months now and we’re already seeing our utility rates decrease by 90%. I have nothing but great things to say about working with Pickett Solar. We couldn’t be happier with this investment in solar.
