A Real Story of Sustainable Farming and Long-Term Savings
1. Meet the Hero: A Minnesota Farmer Looking for a Smart Solar Solution
In October 2024, a farm owner in Minnesota came to Sunny Side Solutions looking for a ground-mounted solar system that could:
✔ Reduce energy costs for farming operations
✔ Power a large home, a farm, or even a small business
✔ Increase property value while achieving energy independence
With rising electricity rates and Minnesota’s cold winters, this farmer wanted a reliable, efficient energy source that wouldn’t depend on the utility grid.
2. The Need for a Ground-Mounted System
Like many Minnesota farm owners, this customer faced unique challenges:
- High energy demand for farm equipment, irrigation, and home use
- Rising electricity costs from utility companies
- Limited roof space for traditional solar panels
While rooftop solar wasn’t an option, a ground-mounted solar installation offered higher energy efficiency and easy maintenance.
3. Sunny Side Solutions Provides a Custom Plan

4. The Plan: A Reliable, Cost-Saving Solar Solution for Minnesota Farmers

5. The Cost of Not Going Solar

❌ Continued paying high electricity bills
❌ Missed out on Minnesota solar incentives & the 30% federal tax credit
