Highlights from the video: Jack Hedin with Featherstone shared that their 38 kW solar PV installation is meeting their expectiations. They used American-made panels and they are producing even better than the installer projected. Their grid-tied system cost $250,000 and had a payback period under seven years using USDA REAP and the Federal Renewable Energy Tax Credit. They also received a low-interest loan from Minnesota Department of Agriculture and support from lots of friends of the farm, too.
