Sponsored by: North Central SARE (Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education)
Phot o-voltaic (PV) panels are an increasingly common sight homes, farms, and bu sinesses across the Midwest. Declining cost of PV solar installations makes installing a distributed solar electric system enticing for many farmers. Evaluating the financial investment in solar requires careful consideration of system costs, the value of production, and operation and maintenance co sts. Unfortunately, some proposals are hard to understand making it difficu lt to make fully informed investment decisions.
This 4 part web inar series will provide you with resources and tools to help consult farme rs who are considering investing in a solar electric system so they are abl e to make fully informed investment decisions. Although the webinars are ge ared to an agricultural audience, the information that will be shared appli es to anyone looking for information on making a wise solar energy investme nt.
The target audience of this webinar series is rural banker s, lenders, and others who want to know more about evaluating solar PV syst ems.
