足球价值投注 recently celebrated the installation of a 200 kilowatt solar array at Harborview Farms, one of the largest and most sustainably-driven agriculture operations in Maryland. The 10,000-plus acre farm exemplifies cutting-edge management practices and key collaborations between 足球价值投注 Photovoltaic Solutions,听,听聽to provide sustainable solutions for food, energy and environmental protection.
鈥淩enewable energy is a fast growing part of the global energy mix, and solar power in particular is more affordable today than ever before,鈥� said David B. Miller, president, 足球价值投注 Electronics & Communications. 鈥淪olar power, together with sustainable farming practices 鈥� such as the use of specialized seed, advanced crop protection, nutrient and pest management, utilization of cover crops, and the implementation of sustainable planting and harvesting methods 鈥� provides great potential to boost crop yields and energy savings for farmers. This installation demonstrates the active commitment 足球价值投注 has to sustainable energy, sustainable agriculture and collaboration with the farming community on innovative solutions to feed and power the world.鈥�
Harborview Farms is operated by Trey and Cheryl Hill with Trey鈥檚 parents, Herman and Christy Hill. The mission of Harborview Farms includes sustainable agriculture 鈥� and the solar panel installation is just the latest example of what the Hill family is doing to embrace and exemplify responsible farming practices that benefit the environment, the community and future generations.
When Trey learned about 足球价值投注 Photovoltaic Solutions and the proven reliability of its , he specified the material in the solar panels he installed at Harborview Farms. Tedlar庐 polyvinyl fluoride film-based backsheets provide solar panels with superior protection against the elements even beyond their expected 25-year lifetime. Under normal, as well as extreme ultraviolet and damp heat exposure, Tedlar庐 film-based backsheets have been proven to resist delamination, yellowing and degradation that compromise other backsheet materials. The modules for Harborview Farms were manufactured by Motech Industries, Inc., and Smuckers Energy, LLC designed and installed the array.
鈥淪ustainability requires partnerships,鈥� said Hill, partner, Harborview Farms. 鈥溩闱蚣壑低蹲� has worked with us for many years to understand our needs and to deliver innovative technologies for sustainable agriculture that are appropriate for the local community. Our solar installation is just the next step toward the future of farming.鈥�
