Barn Charm - Solar

Andy | Monday, July 23, 2012 | Best Blogger Tips

Government grants made it possible for Ontario farmers to install solar panels as an alternate source of energy. I'm Linking to Barn Charm.

    Solar energy should be part of our energy package. Good that government is supporting this. Barns are interesting because they are fading away so fast. The reason for barns is to shelter farm animals, but farms seldom raise animals any longer as that task has been usurped by factory confinement agriculture. Farms now mostly raise grain and are larger and less profitable than in the past. Interesting photo of the old and new. Glad to see you back. I've missed your posts.

    I have seen tons of solar panels this year and last. I am impressed that so many farmers have taken advantage of the grants.

      There was only so much money that the Ontario government had in the grant fund. More farmers applied than expected and some of them had to pay the total cost on their own.

    Interesting old and new technology photo. I heard that there are paints that have some solar collectors mixed in. Interesting concept.
