Experience the Power of Solar for Your Farm

If you own, operate, or work on a farm or agricultural business, you can take advantage of solar power to reduce optimize your electric bill, hedge against rising electricity rates, gain energy independence, and easily increase profit and the value of your operation. Tick Tock Energy has years of experience working with rural and agricultural families and businesses, allowing you to access a wealth of benefits, including:

Electrical Bill Savings

Electricity is increasingly becoming volatile similar to other farm inputs. Investing in a quality solar system can greatly reduce long-term electricity costs. Reduce reliance on the local utility and hedge against rising electricity rates. Generate long-term savings that can be reinvested into farm operations, equipment, or other needs.

Federal Tax Credits and Accelerated Depreciation

Farms can take advantage of federal tax credits and accelerated depreciation that recoup a portion of their solar installation costs and quickly write-off the purchase. The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) allows you to claim a percentage of the total system cost as offset to tax liability. Accelerated or bonus depreciation can help write-off the investment quickly too!

Solar Incentives and Grants

State and utility solar incentives may exist in your area coupled with the USDA REAP grant which can potentially recoup a major portion of your solar investment cost. Farms in Illinois in particular can benefit from the state’s solar renewable energy credit (SREC) incentive and Ameren or Comed customers are eligible for solar-related utility rebates too. These make going solar a “no-brainer”!

Boost Farm Profit and Asset Value

Installing solar power can increase the overall value of your farm and help easily boost the bottomline.

Purchasing Solar is Easy with Solar Financing Options

Electricity savings coupled with solar incentives can potentially generate a cashflow positive investment with little to no money down.  Solar loans and leases in the form of equipment or a capital (tax) lease can avoid the drawn-out capital planning process and make monthly payments affordable.  Tick Tock Energy can connect you with financial partners that make the solar investment easy.  Time is money.  Electricity costs are like paying rent, utility interconnection queues are growing, and incentives may decline or go away.  Don’t delay.  We can help facilitate faster acquisition of your solar system investment.

Tick Tock Energy Dedicated to Helping Farms Succeed

Tick Tock Energy was founded by two brothers who grew up in rural central Illinois their father and grandparents farmed. They respect the independence, dedication and hard work farmers large and small and want to see them successful. Most of the company’s employees grew up in rural small towns and well connected to farming communities. Founded in 2006, Tick Tock is one longest-running solar companies in the US and has reputation for high-quality installations that are also long-lasting, and reliable. 

When solar systems are installed correctly and perform reliably they provide peace of mind and cost savings.  Poor installations have frequent downtime, higher maintenance costs, result in higher electricity bills, and can incur SREC incentive penalties. The Tick Tock team strives to deliver high-performing solar systems and provide support during the life of the systems. Many solar installation companies have gone out of business in recent years leaving their customers stranded. Your solar investment is a major investment and we’re dedicated to your long-term success.
