AGRICULTURE

From irrigation and livestock watering to greenhouse climate control and electric fencing, SolarSet’s pre-assembled systems bring power anywhere it’s needed — no grid required.

Remote Capable

Built for agricultural demands, SolarSet systems are ideal for powering remote wells, water pumps, ag monitoring systems, and outbuildings. Available in off-grid, grid-tied, or hybrid configurations, our systems deliver clean, consistent energy for daily operations and seasonal workloads.

Portable and Durable

Designed to be relocated and re-used, SolarSet systems feature rugged frames, weather-resistant components, and a layout optimized for transport — even in the back of a pickup truck. Whether you’re running cattle in the high country or irrigating a distant field, SolarSet gets you powered — fast.

Local Solutions

As a Colorado-based company, we understand the needs of ag producers working in tough terrain and unpredictable weather. That’s why we build systems that install quickly, require minimal maintenance, and perform year after year — giving you power independence, reduced diesel use, and lower long-term operating costs.

Solar for Agriculture: Reliable Energy Solutions for Colorado Farms

In today’s agricultural landscape, sustainability and energy efficiency are more than just buzzwords—they’re essential for long-term success. SolarSet is proud to support Colorado’s agricultural community, especially in the heart of the San Luis Valley, by providing reliable, clean energy solutions tailored for farmers, ranchers, and rural businesses. Our solar systems are designed to meet the unique challenges of agricultural production, helping operations reduce costs, improve efficiency, and achieve energy independence through innovative solar development.

The Benefits of Solar for Agriculture

Reducing Energy Costs for Rural Communities

Agricultural operations are energy-intensive, with costs often driven by irrigation pumps, refrigeration units, and processing equipment. SolarSet’s systems help farmers in rural communities lower these expenses by harnessing solar energy, a resource that’s abundant in Colorado’s sun-drenched San Luis Valley.

Improving Agricultural Efficiency With Solar Power

Incorporating solar power into farming operations helps reduce dependence on traditional energy sources, offering a more cost-effective and reliable solution. Solar energy supports efficient farming by providing consistent power for irrigation, equipment, and storage, helping farmers maintain productivity while managing energy costs.

Enhancing Resilience for Remote Farms

Our off-grid and hybrid solar systems ensure continuous power supply, even in remote areas where grid access is limited or unreliable. This resilience is crucial for farms that depend on consistent energy for livestock care, crop production, and equipment operation.

Key Applications of Solar in Agriculture

Crop Production Beneath Solar Panels (Agrivoltaics)

Agrivoltaics allows farmers to grow crops beneath solar panels, optimizing land use for both energy production and agriculture. This dual-use approach can improve crop yields by providing shade that reduces heat stress and conserves soil moisture.

Livestock Grazing with Solar Shade Benefits

SolarSet systems can be strategically placed to offer shaded areas for livestock, enhancing animal welfare while generating renewable energy. This is particularly beneficial in Colorado’s arid regions, where managing heat stress is critical for livestock health.

Powering Irrigation Systems, Barns, and Equipment

Our solar solutions efficiently power essential farm operations, including water pumps, barns, greenhouses, and agricultural equipment. This reduces dependency on traditional energy sources and minimizes operational costs.
