We offer a free feasibility analysis, specific to your operations, to help you determine if a solar installation is beneficial for your business.
Agribusiness, Farming, Feedlots
With solar radiation making up 99.9% of all energy available on Earth, solar energy is a crucial source of renewable energy for agricultural production and processing. Solartron is a trusted and experienced solar company for these industries where sunlight is key. With solar energy being a great choice for many different agricultural practices, we have a wide variety of customers including dairy farms, orchards, vineyards, processors, packing houses, and wineries. Our team is very familiar with the seasonal and highly variable energy demands that agribusinesses experience. We analyze your electric consumption, facility usage patterns, and other key metrics in order to deliver the optimal solar equipment and installation.
Schools
We understand that schools typically have a limited footprint and that either buying or leasing additional real estate for solar energy is unlikely. In such cases, our roofing and parking area installations provide an ideal solution that offers both positive community impact and significant cost reductions by taking advantage of under-utilized real estate.
If you want to educate your students on better ways to take care of the planet they’ll be inheriting, a great way to do that is to lead by example. Installing a Solartron energy system in your school’s parking lot will not only help you offset CO2 emissions, but it will also have a wider community impact. It also provides much-needed shade during hot Texas summer months and is a great way to generate public relations for your school that makes an impact.
Commercial
Commercial building owners can benefit from solar energy in more ways than one. Solar is a great way for your new construction and retrofit projects to gain LEED credits – as well as reduce future energy costs. To a commercial building owner, this means maximizing output and dollar savings each month when compared to your current electric utility company. For almost every kind of commercial construction project, Solartron can help set your business apart from the competition. It can also generate positive public relations by integrating a high-performance solar energy system.
Vineyards
More and more wineries include information about their sustainability practices right on the wine bottle. It’s a key selling point for wine lovers. For a growing number of vintners, solar is an essential piece of your sustainability strategy, helping to reduce or even eliminate your energy costs.
We know that making the transition to solar is a decision that impacts many facets of your winery. A large-scale production winery has different needs than a boutique winery and tasting room. We customize solar solutions to fit your business. We work with you from day one to help you (and your customers) realize the value of your solar investment quickly.
Solar Energy
for Farming
According to University of Wisconsin research, dairy farms have an average electricity usage of 800-1200 kWh per cow per year. However, one study found dairy farms consuming over 1700 kWh per cow.
One of the reasons that croplands, grasslands and wetlands have such good potential for solar farming is that solar panels need the same conditions as agricultural crops: plentiful sun, light winds, moderate temperatures and low humidity.
