Solar power is perfect
for pork producers.

And those who already have Blue Horizon Energy solar can tell you how much it’s saving their bacon.

The average American doesn’t understand how much electricity is needed to run a successful pork operation. If you have hogs, you know: It’s a lot of power. The good news is that solar really is perfectly suited to address this power demand, using the unproductive land surrounding pork facilities. Pork operations that have installed solar are already seeing massive savings.

Blue Horizon Energy has worked with many operations across Iowa and Minnesota, engineering solar arrays that have saved millions of dollars in avoided utility expenses. Here’s just one example: The Dorr Family Farm will save $1.9 million in energy expenses all while the panels are still under warranty. After the system went live it was visited by Senator Joni Ernst and Iowa Secretary of Ag, Mike Naig so we made a video about that day. Have a look:

Real Results, Real Performance

The Dorr family farm includes six pro facilities in Northern Iowa. At each of the six sites, Blue Horizon Energy solar arrays delivered exactly what they were engineered for: A 95% reduction in annual utility expenses. That means the owners are paying for 788,000 kWh less power per year.

In the first 9 months alone, these projects delivered over $51,000 in energy savings, delivering 109% of the expected results.
