GOING GREEN AT RIVIERE AG SEEDS
Riviere Ag Seeds installs 36 KW solar power system
Solar Energy - Riviere Ag Seeds Ltd. anticipates achieving Net Zero!
A unique opportunity: Utilizing solar electricity to lower operating cost and gain a credit for the excess power that is not consumed.
Why did we do this?
- Greening up our business: Doing our part to be sensitive to the environment.
- Control power costs: A solar system can produce 20 to 100% of the annual power needed to run a farm. We feel good about this everyday.
- Economics: The cost of solar panels is a disadvantage, but the economics of solar energy is certainly an advantage.
- Carbon Reduction: Solar panels produce 5x to 10x less carbon emissions per unit of energy relative to coal or natural gas. This is huge
- Support Local: We utilized a local electrical and solar contractor to complete the work keeping more money in our communiity.
- Decentralization: As society grows, so does the demand on our electricity infrastructure system. This is evident by our growing cost of transmission and distribution fees.
