Lowering solar installation costs is one of the smartest ways farms and businesses can make solar power more affordable — without sacrificing performance or long-term value.

For most farmers and agri-business owners, it’s not hesitation — it’s time. With packed schedules and constant demands, finding the time to plan and manage a solar installation can feel overwhelming. That’s why Azgard Solar focuses on flexible, farmer-friendly solutions that help reduce costs and make the process more manageable.

When you’re managing a farm or ag operation, cutting costs without cutting quality matters. One way to do that is by finding smart ways to lower solar installation costs. With the right solar panel kit and seasonal tilt ground mount racking, you can build a system that works hard year-round — just like you do. Whether you’re powering equipment, running electricity to remote areas, or just tired of rising bills, a practical setup that you can do yourself gives you control. It’s solar that fits the way agriculture actually works.

That’s why we’ve created this guide — to give you five effective, time-saving strategies to lower solar installation costs and get the most value out of your energy investment.

1. Install it Yourself with a Do-It-Yourself Solar Kit

• Step-by-step installation manuals

• Comprehensive video tutorials

• Dedicated support from our technical team

• Access to training for installation partners

With the right tools and Azgard Solar’s guidance, you can take control of your project — and your budget.

2. Choose Seasonal Tilt Racking for Higher Output

A smart install is an efficient install. Our exclusive seasonal tilt ground-mount racking allows you to adjust your panel angles throughout the year, improving energy generation by up to 10% annually.

Why does that matter for costs? More output means:

• Better performance during off-peak months

• Shorter payback period

• Higher ROI on your system

Plus, this racking is DIY-friendly, durable, and ideal for ground-mounted solar installations on agricultural land.

3. Use Bi-Facial Solar Panels for Maximum Efficiency

Bi-facial panels collect sunlight on both the front and back sides, allowing them to generate more electricity from the same surface area.

When paired with seasonal tilt racking, they can:

• Improve energy capture from snow and reflective surfaces

• Increase your output per square foot

• Lower your overall system costs

Our premium Rayzon bi-facial panels are optimized for Canadian conditions and included in every Azgard Solar system.

4. Bundle Services to Avoid Extra Contractor Fees

Azgard Solar is a one-stop energy provider. We go beyond panels to offer:

• Solar system design

• Internet, electricity & natural gas services

• Carbon offsets

• Solar Club access to sell your excess power

Bundling services under one trusted provider means fewer contractors, lower management fees, and a smoother installation process — all of which help reduce upfront costs.

5. Work with a Local Expert Who Understands Agriculture

Many solar companies take a one-size-fits-all approach. We don’t. With over 40 years in the Western Canadian energy market, we understand the unique energy demands of agriculture and agri-business.

Working with a local expert ensures:

• Proper system sizing

• Better equipment choices

• Faster permitting and delivery

• Less waste and better lifetime value
