The project was mounted for Danell Brothers Dairy, which offers the farm owners with over $650,000 in annual financial savings via minimized utility prices as well as better energy resiliency amidst increasingly serious climate and also linked power blackouts.

" From their flexible and trusted TDP and TDP 2.0 solar trackers to their robust project support solutions at every stage of each project, Solar FlexRack has, and also continues to be, an ideal long-lasting vendor partner," stated Dusty Howze, President of Renewable Solar. "We're excited to remain to function alongside Solar FlexRack to effectively execute additional solar energy projects that deliver long-term cost savings and also energy independence for regional farmers-- all while creating a more sustainable planet."

With energy rates for California dairy farms having raised by as long as 54% over the last 10 years, a raising variety of energy-intensive dairy farms are selecting solar energy to lower functional expenses. Over 150 of the state's dairy farms are now creating solar power and also, according to a current research study, California dairies have lowered greenhouse gases sent out per gallon of milk produced by 45% over a 50-year duration.

" We're proud to have actually had the ability to companion with Renewable Solar to deliver high-quality clean power systems and connected expense savings for California farm owners for many years," claimed Steve Daniel, executive VP of Solar FlexRack. "We anticipate collaborating even more with Renewable Solar on additional farming solar projects on behalf of California's nation-leading renewable portfolio criterion."

Solar FlexRack reported that its single-axis trackers have been installed in more than 80 agricultural solar projects in California.
