This is something every single farmer in Canada and the World should watch!

In the last Stats Can report over 10,000 farms reported that they have renewable electricity on their farms. Mostly Solar PV. I am sure they were all lying! LOL

You guys need to pay attention. Because when I am on a road trip I see numerous solar pv systems on farms. You probably think they are all just fake systems too!

I didn’t say that those 10,000 farms renewable electric setups don’t exist. I said that yours doesn’t.

Very few of these subsidized solar toys are serious and reliable enough to run a small amount of aeration fans. From what I see these panels are limited to ice fishing shacks on a sunny days.

Expect the majority of that 10,000 number is solar powered electric fencers, solar powered watering systems, solar powered yard lights, etc.

I am one of those 10000.
I have been using solar panels on fencers for probably 20 yrs.
I tried using bigger panels with an inverter to utilize 110 volt chargers.

Did the chargers work?

The inverter seemed to use more power than the fencer.
Didn't work in the fall when the days got shorter.
Had to charge the batteries with off the truck with booster cables.
