My electric company is offering to help their customers with installing solar panels and then buying back the surplus energy - maybe the supplier for the Farm has a similar program. <br />It was a little cool this afternoon but I couldn't resist that beautiful sun, so I spent some time in my garden, picking things for a stir-fry for supper.

It's still expensive but it requires less monitoring than a house system (actually no monitoring). We have a gas booster installed with ours (cause we are not on the grid) which helps when you have lots of rainy days. Another thing to perhaps consider is converting your lights to LED's. They use about 3 watts each but can cast a lot of light and they have come a long way in recent years. A great way to conserve energy and a great head start for when/if you eventually go solar.
