Energize Your Future!
Empowering business and agriculture to generate their own energy.
Reduce the burden on our environment and your bottom line.
Imagine Owning Your Own Power Source
What We Build
We erect small-scale renewable energy projects throughout Idaho and the intermountain west.
AgriSolar is ready to build wind turbines, hydro generators or photovoltaic arrays.
How We Build
AgriSolar offers an individualized approach to renewable energy. We educate our clients and involve your business directly with our business. Projects are managed by our owner to provide the best experience and to handle potential dilemmas arise.
Grant Representation
We facilitate grants and loan guarantees with USDA's Rural Development team. AgriSolar handles your grant application for the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP). in addition to grants there is the Investment Tax Credit. If your business is looking for deductions, this is a perfect way to offset your tax liability.
Finance Procurement
The DC size of your renewable energy project (price- per-watt) is what sets the pricing base. We will explore your options from local to national. AgriSolar does have easy to qualify loans up to 30 year term. No matter the project, we're commited to full disclosure and to keep your financial interests in our forefront.

We've Done the Math!
AgriSolar calculates to educate. Compare the true energy cost to owning your own power source.
Our SnapShot is a spreadsheet specific to your power co. Providing an accurate assessment of todays power costs & fees plus, anticipating future rate esclations = Your True Cost of Power!
On-site power production (kW/H) divided by net system cost over time = Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE)
Avoided power company fees plus power indepndance divided by your LCOE = How Long to Recoup Investment?
Our SnapShot is interactive. Many different variables can be applied to
Explore Options with Accuracy.
The Solar Installation Dilemma
Changes have arrived to rooftop solar in Idaho, Power companies gained approval to overhaul methods of compensating households with rooftop solar panels for the excess energy generated. Battery storage is the solution.

☼ Fund your REAP grant award!
The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in 2022 has created a significant upside to going green. To encourage the use of renewable energy in business sectors, the USDA's REAP grant offers up to 50% paid on renewable projects. According to reports, two-billion dollars has been set aside. The REAP grant program is fully funded for the next 7 years!
Potential for alleviating cost of power for agriculture and business with this grant is fantastic. Renewable power for storing crops, (i.e. grain elevator, potato cellars) or machining and manufacturing will benefit immensely from this grant program. For high power demand businesses, inverters for both single and three-phase power is not a problem up to 100kW in most areas.
Solar is great, there are no moving parts. The standard solar module is made of monocrystalline silicone. This material experiences linear degradation and comes with the manufacturers guarantee to still generate power at 80% of the nameplate rating 30 years after installation. Reliable production year upon year.
Any renewable energy project is consistently priced lower when comparing the true cost of buying power to AgriSolar's net contract price (after 80-90% federal incentives). The time to recoup the remaining investment by the project owner is short, under 5-years. From there it's paid for and making money. Understanding that electricity will be generated onsite. You'll no longer need to keep buying every month with nothing to show for it.
When you own a power plant you'll have piece of equipment that will pay for itself and then some. The longer it produces, the lower the LCOE-price-per-watt to generate, that's the awesome combo of ownership and renewability! Stop buying electricity, become a power producer, Energize your Future with AgriSolar!
