Jerry and his son Jerry, owners of Howle Farms
Join Jerry, owner of Howle Farms, in the farms’ transformative journey towards greener operations. Backed by a 50% US Department of Agriculture Grant (USDA), Howle Farms will transform from a family-owned farm into a model of sustainable business practices. Based in Hartsville, SC, Howle Farms is a generational business keen on joining the renewable energy revolution.
Your support can turn their vision into reality: funding the construction of a cutting-edge 43.55 kW solar installation paired with a robust 92.16 kWh battery storage system. This project is more than renewable energy; it’s a significant step in reducing carbon emissions, equivalent to potentially offsetting 946.69 Metric Tons of CO2, which is equal to 2,427,403 miles driven by an average gasoline-powered car (US EPA, 2023). Invest today to further Howle Farms’ journey towards a cleaner, greener future.
Incentives: Tax Credits & Government Grants
Solar Harvest for Howle Farms has secured a 60% Investment Tax Credit (ITC) (available after construction begins) and the 50% USDA Renewable Energy for America Program (REAP) grant (available after one month of production data). Both percentages are based on the project’s total cost, $309,180.00, and are equal to $154,590.00 and $185,508.00, respectively. They are working with Ovanova, the project developer, to raise funds to complete the solar and storage project and unlock the incentives for repayment for project backers.
