HINESVILLE, Ga. January 07, 2022 — Ag Solar is proud to announce more than one million dollars in USDA REAP grant awards for our clients across the United States.
That’s a million dollars toward making both farms and rural small businesses more financially independent.
That means more financial stability for their clients and less reliance on big power monopolies. Ultimately, it’s more power in the hands of the small business owners that keep America running.
Clay Sikes, owner and CEO of Ag Solar said,
“I can think of no better way to support the resilience of American independence than bolstering the food supply right here on our own soil by giving American farmers a tool that can instantly improve their bottom line.”
It provides immediate relief to their expenses adding a depreciable asset to their books. I’ve been in business for more than 50 years and this is the best opportunity I’ve ever seen to support our future generations.”
Your Farm or Rural Business Can Apply for a REAP Grant or Loan
Grants and loans are available to many different types of qualifying organizations.
REAP grants cover up to 50% of the costs of a new solar power system installation. Combined with other tax incentives, like the federal Investment Tax Credit, farmers and rural businesses can cut their costs in half before drawing a dime out of their own pockets.
Solar Power is a good financial option without these incentives — it saves far more money long-term than it costs initially. But the grants accelerate the payback period and mean less money in the hands of bureaucrats and utility companies.
Ag Solar’s stellar REAP grant award success rate
Ag Solar has become known across the country for our near-perfect success rate with the acceptance of grant applications. The Ag Solar team employs experts who write grants on behalf of their clients. That, paired with solid relationships and trust built with USDA officials across America, has led to unparalleled REAP grant awards success.
In fact, in 2020, 100% of Ag Solar USDA REAP grant applications in Georgia were approved.
Ag Solar’s original focus was on poultry farms, and we are now focused on delivering solar power for farmers across America. The poultry industry still looks to Ag Solar as the renewable energy expert.
We have earned the trust of the agricultural community through honest assessments of each project’s financial viability, and by exceeding installation, performance, and maintenance expectations for each and every client.
Ag Solar was recently featured in American Poultry Farmer magazine and was even used as a shining example in a session about renewable energy in the United States Congress.
In the coming years, Ag Solar plans to secure millions more in REAP grants and loans to help our clients build their own independence-producing, profit-boosting, environmentally-friendly power plants.
