Nestled within the heart of Medford, Dunbar Farms is a shining example of sustainability and local charm. This century-old family farm, known for its local wines, delicious meals, and lively music events, recently took a monumental step toward energy independence. True South Solar proudly partnered with Dunbar Farms to install a 25.4 kW solar system, featuring 62 sleek panels on the roof of their tasting room. Solar will power the future of Dunbar Farms.
A Collaboration Rooted in Sustainability
Dunbar Farms has always been about nurturing the land and fostering community, so incorporating solar power felt like a natural progression. The new system not only complements their ethos but also positions the farm as a leader in sustainable practices among local businesses. Over its lifetime, this installation is projected to save the farm more than $120,000 in energy costs.
The Solar System That Powers Their Vision
True South Solar designed and installed the system with precision and care. The 62 solar panels sit atop the tasting room, seamlessly blending with the building’s design while harnessing the power of the sun. With this system in place, Dunbar Farms can:
- Offset energy costs significantly, freeing up resources to invest back into the farm and great live music events.
- Reduce their carbon footprint, aligning with the values of eco-conscious patrons.
- Avoid costly electricity rate hikes expected over the life of the system.
