Sustainability With Solar

Make your farming or processing operation more competitive, profitable and sustainable with NewGen Energy. On average, NewGen Energy customers who install a 1MW solar system offset $265,000 in utility costs in the first year alone. As a grower you have specific energy needs. Many businesses have started using solar power for agriculture industry applications. At NewGen Energy we will custom design a system to meet your precise requirements. Let our local team of solar engineers design the best solar system for your operation. We will review your power needs and provide a custom and personalized solution created specifically for you. Our consulting engineers, technical designers and installers can take care of every part of your agricultural solar project including design, engineering, financing, installation and solar system maintenance and support.

Your needs change, your power requirements change as well. At NewGen Energy we calculate your usage in the same format that your utility company reads it. We then break it down by the day and hour to calculate your power usage demands, and the different agriculture and usage rates.

This accurate metering gives you the data you need to save the most on utilities and your overall ROI. If not done properly – considering every detail including location of your solar installation, your solar system could be over or undersized which could result in thousands of wasted dollars. At Pav-Solar, by tailoring your solar installation to your land and agricultural specifications and future growth, the end result is the best solar utilization and overall increased POI.

I had the pleasure of working with NewGen Energy, Inc on a large Solar PV project for one of my buildings. From the first introductory, I knew I had selected the right firm. Not only were they competitive, but they raised bar in every aspect of the project. From the site survey, proposal process, customer service, and attention to every detail, we were thrilled. They really made the experience going solar fun!

Tom Pires

Owner, Pires Farming

I had the pleasure of working with NewGen Energy on a large solar PV project for two of my deep well irrigation pumps. From the first introduction, I knew I had selected the right firm. Not only were they competitive, but they raised the bar on every aspect of the project. From the site survey, to the proposal process, PGE Interconnection, customer service, and attention to every detail, I was thrilled. They really made the experience of going solar fun! They know what they are doing, and I would recommend NewGen Energy for any of your solar project needs.

Bill Soares

CFO, Bennet Ranch

Over the years, our company has installed 4 solar panel systems with 3 different companies and NewGen Energy was by far the best experience we have had. Their estimates were precise and their timeline was on the mark. Abe & Beth Emard were very professional and yet down to earth people. You never gelp pressured and they were always available to answer all of our questions. Conversation with them was like have a conversation with a friend. I would highly recommend NewGen Energy to anyone or business who is considering installation of solar panels. If we do another solar panel system, we plan on using NewGen Energy.

John Bartelink

Owner, Bartelink Dairy

Over the last 5 years, we had many different solar companies comes to our place and try to sell us on solar. It wasn’t until we met Abe and Beth (owners of NewGen Energy) that we actually decided to go solar. Our decision to gosolar with NewGen Energy was based upon many factors. Their educational approach vs. sales approach was something we were looking for. We knew they were folks we could trust, stemming from their deep knowledge of solar for agriculture and dairy’s, being an owner operator, family run business, and because they were so authentic. We are trilled with the progress of our project and are looking forward to reducing our reliance on utility power, creating an alternative source of energy and the long-term savings benefit.

Ross Filippini

Partner, David Santos Farming

Working with Abe and Beth has been great. Their communication and responsiveness has made me feel like I am in good hands throughout the whole process of the solar project. The best thing about working with NewGen has been the fact that they are a family owned and operated business. It was great to see the same people that engineered and sold me the solar system out on the construction site operating equipment and working in the physical process of building the system themselves. Uou just can’t get service like that from large corporate companies. The quality of their work speaks for itself as well. I would recommend anyone looking to go solar to reach out to Abe and Beth at NewGen, you will not be disappointed!

A Solar Solution Fit For You

NewGen has been working with customers in the agriculture industry since 2012 to build alternative energy systems that electrify irrigation pumps and provide clean power for processing your crops. Cold storage, machinery and all the electrical operations that drive your agribusiness.

Growers

Whether your growing fruits, vegetable, nuts, cotton or other crops, solar can help shave off utility costs, an excellent hedge against inflation, solar can help growers offset the high costs of irrigation and other operational costs.

Processors

Processing crops require a lot of energy, and seasonal demand spikes can cause your utility bill to surge unexpectedly. A solar and storage solution keeps cost stable so. you can focus on the harvest.

Dairies and Ranch

Dairies and ranches have unique needs when it comes to energy. Dairies use solar to offset the costs of constant electrification for milking machines, HVAC and refrigeration, ranches appreciate the ability to turn underutilized land into a cost-saving solar array.

Distributors

Distributing food requires logistics management and optimal col storage every step of the way. In addition, trucking fleets are rapidly moving to electrification. Solar can help reduce operational costs on both fronts.

Solar Net Metering

If you have priced solar power recently, we encourage you to look again. With Net Metering Aggregation you can dramatically decrease your solar needs. NewGen Energy is dedicated to bring our customers clear and accurate information about the Net Metering Aggregation process, and how they can best benefit from these resources. With net metering, landowners can devote the part of their land that is most suitable to solar power generation and credit the energy production from solar to their most expensive meters, as long as the land is contingent. Using this Technology, agricultural businesses can connect multiple meters to a single, centralized solar panel system, even if meters are on adjacent properties, helpingt, drive costs down significantly. Not only does this offer more freedom for solar installation and location, it also provides flexible shifting of offsets as usage changes, resulting in the maximum solar ROI. We have found that net metering is where our customers can gain the most in cost savings and revenue. In addition, solar can be installed on existing overhead structures at the current yard to protect equipment or materials.

Save More With Energy Storage

Installing an energy storage system in your home or operation is a wise investment. When reviewing your utility bill, it’s important to pay close attention to the two different types of charges on your account: One charge will be your average usage of electricity that month and the other will be the maximum usage of electricity that month.

PV systems generate electricity to offset all or most energy charges. But demand charges are not completely offset by PV. An ESS installed with a PV system can further increase utility bill savings by reducing demand charges, and hedging against impacts of changes in utility rates and tariffs.

The benefits to having a solar energy storage system are lower demand charges, increased solar savings, and increased energy savings.
