For many farms and businesses, solar can lower long-term operating costs and provide insurance against rising energy rates. Solar power can be used for all the essential parts of a farm. It provides energy for livestock structures, including poultry barns, horse stables and large livestock housing. Solar can also increase the use of your land, an off-grid solar installation can provide power where it’s not feasible to run utility lines.
The USDA Rural Development Program provides guaranteed loan financing and grant funding to agricultural producers, rural small businesses for renewable energy systems or to make energy efficiency improvements. Agricultural producers may also apply for new energy efficient equipment and new system loans for agricultural production and processing. Please follow this link to USDA – Rural Development to find more about eligibility requirements.
If you install solar energy equipment in your residence any time this year through the end of 2032, you are entitled to a nonrefundable credit off your federal income taxes, equal to 30 percent of eligible expenses. Equipment that qualifies for the Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit includes solar, wind, geothermal and fuel-cell technology.
