FARM ENERGY SYSTEMS

Cut Your Energy Costs. Keep More of What You Earn.

We design, install, and manage behind-the-meter energy systems for agricultural operations — solar, fuel cell, and battery storage — and handle every incentive application on your behalf.

WHAT WE DO

Behind-the-Meter Energy for Farm Operations

Behind-the-meter means the energy system serves your operation directly — reducing what you pay for electricity rather than selling power back to the grid. For most farm operations, this is the highest-return energy investment available.

We assess your operation’s energy usage, design the right system, manage installation, and handle every federal and state incentive application on your behalf. Most farm operations are leaving significant money on the table simply because the incentive landscape is complex and time-consuming to navigate.

We handle all of that. You focus on farming.

WHAT WE INSTALL

Three Technologies. One Goal.

Solar — Rooftop or ground-mounted photovoltaic systems sized to your operation’s electricity consumption. Combined with available incentives, most agricultural solar installations achieve payback in under five years.

Fuel Cell — For operations with consistent, high electricity demand, fuel cells provide reliable baseload power with high efficiency and low emissions. Particularly effective for grain drying and continuous processing operations.

Battery Storage — Behind-the-meter battery systems reduce demand charges and provide backup power. Often paired with solar to maximize self-consumption and eliminate peak-rate electricity costs.

REAL PROJECT

What This Looks Like in Practice

A central Illinois grain operation recently installed a behind-the-meter solar system through UnCommon Energy. Gross system cost: approximately $270,000. Net cost after federal and state incentives: approximately $31,000. Annual energy savings: approximately $9,500. Energy offset: approximately 100%. That is a net investment of $31,000 that eliminates essentially all of the operation’s electricity cost going forward.
