Empowering Angela and John’s Dream: Join the Farmer’s Hardware Solar Revolution

Meet Angela and John, the heart and soul behind Farmer’s Hardware, a resilient family-owned business in Somerville, TN that has been serving the community since 1954. For decades, they have been the go-to destination for locals seeking quality hardware and home furnishings. However, Angela and John have a dream that goes beyond the walls of their establishment – they envision a future powered by clean and sustainable energy.

Their dream takes the shape of a solar-powered revolution that aims to not only cut costs for their business but also ensure resilience in the face of local power outages, a challenge many small businesses in rural areas often face.

Angela and John’s vision has received a significant boost through a grant from the US Department of Agriculture’s Rural Energy for America Program (REAP). This grant, intending to cover 50% of the project’s cost, is a stepping stone towards the construction of a state-of-the-art 53.6 kW solar installation complemented by 122.88 kWh of battery storage.

Incentives: Tax Credits & Government Grant

Angela and John’s project is stated to qualify for a 50% Investment Tax Credit (ITC) (available after construction begins) and 50% USDA REAP grant (available after 1 month of production data).
They are working with Ovanova, the developer of this project, to raise funds with the purpose to: complete the solar and storage project and unlock the incentives that allow repayment for project backers.
