Solar

In December of 2017, we worked with Portland-based ReVision Energy to install a 13.5 kilowatt grid-tied solar electric system, which offsets some of the farm’s electricity usage.

When the sun is shining, the 45 solar panels on the roof of our barn produce electricity that is either used in real-time on the farm, or fed back to the grid where it benefits our community (and earns us a credit). Each year, the system will generate roughly 16,921 kilowatt-hours (kWhs) of electricity, offsetting the equivalent of over 29,250 miles driven in a gas-powered car.
