HOME / Farmers get loans to install solar power - CAPTURED ENERGY SOLAR (PTY) LTDDid you know that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) offers financial assistance to fund photovoltaic energy projects on your farm or ranch? Solar panels can increase your operation's profitability. One government grant program for solar panels on farms is called the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP).
Farmers can benefit from solar energy in several ways—by leasing farmland for solar; installing a solar system on a house, barn, or other building; or through agrivoltaics. Agrivoltaics is defined as agriculture, such as crop production, livestock grazing, and pollinator habitat, located underneath solar panels and/or between rows of solar panels.
One government grant program for solar panels on farms is called the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP). But first, what's this about “photovoltaic” initiatives? A photovoltaic system (PV system) is a more scientific word for the typical solar panel (or PV module) system we think of when we say “solar energy.”
It is possible to apply for both a solar grant and a farm productivity grant, but separate applications must be submitted, and the maximum grant across both applications is £500,000. Applications should be made through the Rural Payments Agency (RPA). The IFP grant is competitive, with applications judged on how well they meet funding criteria.
Key Takeaways Initial costs for solar panels can range from $10,000 to $30,000 for a small to medium-sized farm. USDA''s Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) offers grants
