The grid is feeling the heat. ☀️
High temperatures = more air conditioning = higher electricity demand.
That’s why utilities are asking customers to reduce their electricity use during peak hours.
You can help by delaying laundry, dishes, cooking, and other high-energy activities until later in the evening...Or you can reduce your dependence on the grid in the first place.
Solar produces electricity during the daytime—when the sun is shining and air conditioners are working hard.
"Beat the peak" today by generating your own power. ☀️🔋
If you're considering solar for your home, farm, or business, we're happy to walk you through what it could look like.

Powering Life Off the Grid in Arkansas

There’s something pretty special about a solar installation that gives a home the freedom to make its own power.
We recently completed this off-grid project in the beautiful hills of rural Arkansas, utilizing the home's varied roof lines to achieve optimal sun angles and make the most of the available sunlight.
The result is a custom system designed around the property, providing reliable, independent power while fitting naturally into the unique shape of the home.

Could parts of the U.S. face increased blackout risk as soon as 2027?

The CEO of one of the country's largest utility companies recently warned that rapidly growing electricity demand—particularly from AI and large data centers—is putting increasing pressure on the electrical grid in some regions.

For homeowners concerned about power outages, today's solar and battery systems can provide something traditional grid-tied solar alone cannot: backup power when the utility goes down.

At New Farm Solar, we design systems around the customer's actual goals—whether that's reducing dependence on the grid, keeping essential loads running during an outage, or providing whole-home backup where practical. We sell whole-home generators too.

Sometimes the best solar system is one that grows with you. ☀️
These new drone photos gave us the chance to revisit a project from a couple of years ago—and it highlights an important conversation we're having with many homeowners today.
As energy needs change, your solar system can often change with you. While adding more traditional grid-tied panels isn't always the best path under today's utility rules, there are other ways to expand what your system can do.
For many homeowners with grandfathered net metering, adding a battery-based system is an excellent way to maximize the benefits of the solar panels you already own—without giving up your grandfathered utility rate. Batteries can provide backup power during outages, increase your energy independence, and give you more flexibility as your home's electrical needs grow.
Whether you're considering adding an EV charger, a workshop, or simply planning for the future, there are options that build on your existing investment.
Every home is different, which is why we design solutions around your goals—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Have questions about expanding your current system or adding batteries? We'd be happy to walk through your options. Call or text us at 833-NEW-FARM.

❓ FAQ Feature Friday

Is now a good time to go solar?

Yes!

There are several reasons why homeowners are choosing to install solar now:

⚡ Electric rates aren't getting cheaper. Most utility companies raise their rates over time. Instead of wondering what your electric bill will look like next year, solar allows you to lock in much of your energy costs for decades.

🏡 Net metering still provides excellent value. While Arkansas' net metering program has changed, a properly designed grid-tied solar system can still offset up to 80% of a typical home's annual energy use. In neighboring states like Missouri and Oklahoma, many utilities continue to offer 1:1 net metering.

🔋 Energy security matters. For many families, solar is about more than lowering utility bills. Adding battery storage means your home can continue powering essential appliances during outages caused by storms or other grid disruptions.

Every home is different, which is why we design systems around your goals—not a one-size-fits-all solution.

💧☀️ Water for the herd, powered by the sun.
One of our recent projects was designed to keep water flowing to cattle without relying on the electric grid. For many landowners in the Ozarks, getting power to a remote well can sometimes be inconvenient, or simply not practical. Solar can be an effective alternative.
This system includes:
⚡ 2,460 watts of solar panels
🔋 10.2 kWh of battery storage
🔄 EG4 Off-grid inverter system
🚰 Dedicated well-pumping power for livestock watering
On a typical day, the system is expected to produce around 9 kWh of energy, storing excess power in batteries so water remains available when the sun isn't shining. Contact us for a site evaluation and custom design!

One of the things we love most about solar is that a well-designed system keeps working quietly in the background long after the install day is over — through hot summers, storms, rising utility costs, and everything in between.

Good solar should look clean, perform well, and still make you proud to see it on your roof years later. ⚡

This grid-tied installation in Fayetteville still looks just as good as the day it was installed — while continuing to produce reliable power year after year.
