As modern farms face rising energy costs and unreliable grid service, it's more important than ever to consider smarter energy solutions. At Waring Electric, we help farmers take control of their power needs through custom-designed solar systems and reliable backup generators. Here’s how a hybrid system can revolutionize your farm’s energy use—and save you money.
The Growing Energy Demands of Agriculture Farms rely heavily on power to operate machinery, irrigation systems, refrigeration units, and more. But with power costs climbing and the electrical grid under strain from increased demand—especially with the rise of electric vehicles and energy-hungry AI data centers—farmers are facing new challenges. Reliable, cost-effective energy solutions are no longer a luxury; they’re a necessity.
Why Solar Power is a Smart Investment for Farms
Dramatically lower energy bills year after year
Strong return on investment (ROI) with a long equipment lifespan
Access to USDA REAP grants and a 30% federal tax credit
Sustainable, renewable energy that supports environmental goals
With available incentives, solar systems are more affordable than ever. Farmers can reduce their utility costs and protect themselves from future rate hikes, all while increasing their farm’s value.
Don’t Forget Backup Power Even the sun has downtime. That’s why pairing solar with a whole-farm Generac backup generator ensures uninterrupted operation, even during outages. These systems start automatically, can run on multiple fuel types, and include remote monitoring features. Together, solar and generators offer true energy independence.
How Solar + Generators Work Together A hybrid energy system gives you the best of both worlds—clean, cost-saving solar power and the reliability of generator backup when you need it most. The result? Peace of mind, lower bills, and full control over your farm’s energy future.
See the Savings: Real Numbers Our 15-year savings projection shows how solar drastically reduces cumulative energy costs compared to relying solely on utility power. With incentives like USDA grants and tax credits, your upfront investment pays off faster and yields long-term financial benefits.
