This is\nbecause they can provide the energy and food the world needs without relying on\nantiquated fossil fuels. The power our sun provides is virtually unlimited, and\nstudies show that within just twenty days it provides more energy than the\nentire world\u2019s coal, gas and oil resources combined. Below are some ways in\nwhich this incredible power can be harnessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why Solar Has Become\nMore Cost Effective<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the potential of solar power has been known for decades, technological limitations made it too costly to apply widely. This has changed in recent years, due to declining construction costs and price per KW hour, which now regularly surpasses that of coal. Solar farm <a href=\"\/solar\/\">service<\/a> and installation is becoming much more viable than the traditional method of establishing power lines. Furthermore, many jurisdictions are friendly to solar power and offer generous tax incentives for farmers that choose to utilize it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How Solar Power\nFarming Works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remote thermometers and aquatic sensors are used to monitor\nthe growing conditions for a range of crops, alerting farmers to alterations in\ntemperature or moisture levels which can forewarn of disasters. These systems\nalso allow one to monitor water usage and drainage, and the sensors can also\nform connections with the wider grid to continually monitor livestock via ID\ntracking. For farmers that use calving which is open range, such tools are\nindispensable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Farming in regions that receive cold winters has always been\nchallenging, but this technology makes it a lot easier and more efficient\nthrough the usage of water heaters which are solar powered. These heating\ndevices will prevent livestock tanks from freezing, along with water supplies.\nPerhaps the most impressive aspect of solar is its applications within green\nhouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greenhouse farming was developed to give producers greater control of their environment. The problem with traditional systems however was that large operations often incurred exorbitant <a href=\"\/more-services\/electrical-services\/\">electrical<\/a> bills and unexpected fees resulting from having to use the primary power grid or even lay down new lines. Solar power eliminates most of these problems while reducing costs and boosting efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advantages Of Using\nSolar For Irrigation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For major farming projects, providing power to remote\naquatic pumps can be very challenging and costly. Pumps which are gravity\nassisted are good, but must be in the correct environment for dependability.\nThe trouble for many operators is the cost involved with extending the power\ngrid the necessary distance. Even if you have the funds to do it, you still\nhave to contend with potential damage to the line which might disrupt the\noperation while incurring large repair costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solar power which is remote is the best alternative, as its\nmaintenance needs are low and it provides unmatched flexibility. In fact, any\nexcess energy which is produced from remote areas can be stored, sent to power\nlines to earn tax credits or used in the main power network. Solar irrigation\nis also a leading candidate for tax exemptions and agricultural sales in many\njurisdictions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solar energy and farms make a wonderful combination.
