Solar for Farmers in Rural Wisconsin

State grants and federal tax credits, along with the potential for USDA funds, make solar a solid investment for farmers in Wisconsin. Harvesting sunshine is another source of farm income that helps the overall operations.

Focus on Energy Incentive

Most Wisconsin utilities participate in the state energy efficiency program, Focus on Energy.

Through Focus on Energy, farmers are eligible to receive incentive money for installing a solar system. Incentives can range from $1,000 - $50,000.

The incentive amounts vary on the total solar array size. An average incentive amount awarded is $10,000.

Solar Income Tax Rebate (30%)

Any solar system in Wisconsin is currently eligible for a 30% federal income tax credit deduction.

This means that you will receive 30% of the total value of your new solar system, back on your tax refund.

If you are unable to claim all 30% in one year, the balance will roll over until you use up the entire credit.

Can you harvest sunshine?

Curious how much your farm can save in electricity costs with a solar energy system? Solar is the same concept as harvesting crops, fueled by the same solar source, the sun! But in this case it's a perennial crop that provides reliable power for decades.

Even as prices for fuel, seed, and fertilizer rise, you can lock in your electricity prices today, and save for the next 30 years.
