Lee Klock, the owner of Klock Family Dairy, installed 219 solar panels on the roof of one of his barns in La Fargeville, New York. The system will produce 69,271 kWh a year which offsets 100% of electric usage.
Lee’s favorite part of the solar system is “it just sits there and works!” See what else Lee had to say about his solar investment in the video below.
Barn-Roof Solar for New York Dairy Farms
A dairy barn roof is often the cheapest place to put a solar array: The structure is already there, and the farm’s biggest electric loads sit directly underneath. The Klocks’ 219 panels offset 100% of the farm’s electricity. See more agricultural solar systems on New York farms.
