No net metering here, so that means that you don’t offset the kWh you use,with the ones you produce. Apparently a pretty common practice.

You get paid in my area, 2.8 cents/kWh for produced electricity, pay 13 cents for used electricity. So Still paying 10.2 cents for the kilowatts used.

The only way we could come out in our area,(and as it seems he whole state of Iowa) is either to get net metering instituted, or set up the solar array to provide power directly to the hog barn, which in itself provides a whole new layer of complexity and cost.

Hog barns generate a lot of dust, most of which is at ground level, which is corrosive. Most hog barn roofs are replaced in 15- 20 year intervals.
