Why this sub-vertical fits PPA economics

Lower farm-load; export-heavy PPA structures. Grain drying provides seasonal peak coincident with summer PV. In our experience, sub-verticals that share these characteristics — daytime load matching solar generation, sufficient roof or land area, and a 15+ year occupancy horizon — see the strongest PPA economics within the broader farms & agriculture sector.
