arming, particularly dairy
farming, can be a very energyintensive
industry. Fortunately,
solar energy can supply and
supplement many farm energy
requirements. The following is
a brief overview of some
applications of solar energy
technologies used in agriculture.
Additional sources are provided
for more specific information
about the solar energy
fapplications highlighted in this
guide. The New York State
Energy Research and
Development Authority
(NYSERDA) has incentives and
programs for some solar
electric applications.
