Solar and Farmlands Seminar

  • Oceana Conservation District 1064 Industrial Park Drive Shelby, MI 49455 (map)

Are you interested in leasing your land to a solar developer? Concerned your neighbor might? Interested in diversifying your revenue stream, but worried about farmland turning into solar fields? Join us to learn the pros, cons, and misconceptions - good & bad - about rural solar.

Farmer and solar energy expert Allen Bonthuis will share detailed information about how solar works and how a distributed generation model can be implemented, combining solar with agriculture as a way to keep land in production and profitable, while also promoting clean energy. We will also review current incentives like USDA REAP grants, Investment Tax Credit, and depreciation to understand the economic impact of solar on a business and within a community.
