Sector applications

Different agricultural operations.{' '} Different energy profiles.

Agricultural facilities span very different operating profiles — from year-round greenhouse climate control to seasonal grain handling, from continuous dairy operations to refrigerated food processing. Each calls for a different sequencing of measures.

{AGRI_SUBSECTORS.map((s) => )}

Not sure which sub-sector best describes your operation?{' '} That’s usually the right place to start a conversation. {' '} A 20-minute call is enough to map your seasonal load profile against the right scope of work.

Our discovery process

Start with a conversation.{' '} Not a commitment.

Most agricultural operations already have enough utility and operational data to identify meaningful energy-saving opportunities. The first step is understanding how the operation consumes power across the agricultural year and where the strongest financial opportunities exist.

{/* Step 01 */}
STEP 01

Quick 20-minute discovery call.

We review your operation type, seasonal load profile, REAP grant eligibility, and current energy concerns. No commitment required.

{/* Step 02 */}
STEP 02

12 months of utility bills.

Interval and utility billing data — covering at least one full grain drying season — help identify:

STEP 03

Receive a farm opportunity overview.

We provide high-level insight into where solar, storage, LED lighting, electrical upgrades, or energy audits may create operational and financial value — alongside applicable grant funding pathways.

); }; // ============================================================ // AgriFAQ — Paper White. 5 sector questions specific to agriculture. // ============================================================ const AgriFAQ = () => { const items = [ { q: 'Is rooftop solar viable on a barn or agricultural building?', a: "Yes — barn roofs, processing buildings, and agricultural outbuildings are among the most common surfaces for commercial solar in Ontario.\n\nA pre-installation structural assessment confirms the roof's capacity for the additional dead and live (snow) load. Roof age, mount type, and orientation are evaluated. The Tilecroft Farms 79.6 kW system is a multi-plane barn-roof installation that achieved 82% annual offset — the highest verified offset of any Green Integrations project across all sectors." }, { q: 'How do seasonal loads — grain drying, irrigation — affect solar economics?', a: "Solar economics on a farm are built on annual offset, not month-by-month matching.\n\nA typical Ontario farm has high baseline ventilation and lighting year-round, an irrigation peak in summer (which aligns well with solar generation), and a grain drying spike in autumn (which does not). The solar system is sized to the annual consumption profile. Where the autumn drying peak creates significant demand-charge exposure, battery storage can address that without needing to fully offset the energy volume." }, { q: 'What is the REAP grant and is our farm eligible?', a: "REAP refers to federal Rural and Northern Communities Clean Energy programmes administered by Natural Resources Canada and AAFC. These provide grant funding to qualifying agricultural and rural operations for renewable energy generation, storage, and energy efficiency upgrades.\n\nEligibility is project-specific — generally tied to the type of operation, the project category, and how the project is structured. We screen projects for eligibility as part of the initial assessment and manage the application end-to-end. Most farms either don't apply for available funding or leave eligible portions unclaimed." }, { q: 'Can solar be installed on greenhouse roofs?', a: "Greenhouse roofing is typically transparent or translucent and is not a candidate surface for solar modules. However, adjacent buildings — packing houses, processing facilities, headhouses, or workshops — frequently have suitable roof area.\n\nGround-mount installations are often the best option for greenhouse operations with available land. The R Brush Farms 129.8 kW project in Blenheim is an example of a building-roof installation supporting a greenhouse operation — the modules sit on the adjacent processing building roofline." }, { q: 'How long does an agricultural solar project take from assessment to commissioning?', a: "An agricultural project typically takes 4–9 months from initial assessment to commissioning, depending on size, grid interconnection requirements, and grant programme timing.\n\nThe sequence: 12-month interval data analysis (1–2 weeks), site and structural assessment (2–4 weeks), grant application preparation and submission (varies by programme), Hydro One or LDC interconnection application (4–12 weeks), engineering and procurement (4–8 weeks), installation (1–4 weeks), commissioning and ESA inspection (1–2 weeks). Grant programme cycles are often the longest variable — we sequence project milestones around them." }, ]; const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(0); return (

Start your assessment

Plan around your season. Not against it.

A farm assessment identifies what’s addressable across drying, irrigation, ventilation, refrigeration, and lighting — and what the combined picture looks like once REAP and other federal funding are applied.
