This past Earth Day, Davis Farmland unveiled their new Solar System. Sitting atop a barn roof are 144 state of the art Photo-Voltaic solar panels which will bring the farm one step closer to energy independence. These panels will help decrease the draw on outside energy resources needed by our Municipal Light Department, which in turn saves local residents money and reduces everyone’s carbon footprint.
Farmland’s new Solar System will generate the same amount of electricity required to power four to five homes; as well as, reduce carbon dioxide emissions which is the main cause of global warming.
The Davis family is constantly looking for new ways to sustain the family farm, benefit the greater community and be an example of innovation with a conscience. Green energy projects, like the Solar System, create jobs, new technologies and a better future.
