The challenge
Seven separate agricultural meters produced complex bills, and the best land for panels was a corner too alkaline to farm well.
Our solution
We designed a single-axis tracker array on the unproductive corner, using aggregation to credit production across eligible meters.
The results
- Estimated annual savings of $212,000
- Previously idle ground now productive
- Tracker adds about 19% more output than fixed tilt
"That corner never grew anything worth harvesting. Now it pays our power bill."
Savings and payback figures are sample estimates based on the customer's utility bills and modeled production.
