Incentives to New Jersey farmers:
60% Utility Rebate, 10% Federal Tax Credit – Operating Expenses Can Be Sharply Reduced for More Than 25 Years

Flatbrook Farm of Montague and WorldWater & Solar Technologies of Pennington have opened New Jersey agriculture to new economic savings by using sunshine to spin the farm’s electrical meters backwards ("Net Metering") and power much of the farm’s daily needs. Jersey Central Power and Light will "bank" Flatbrook’s unused self-generated solar electricity for later use by the farm as needed.

All New Jersey electrical utilities are working with the BPU and state agencies to promote solar usage in order to reduce electricity demand on the utilities and to help clean New Jersey air of pollutants.

WorldWater & Solar Technologies Keeps Cotton Ranch Running
Irrigation Continues Despite Grid Failure

The Locke family runs a cotton operation in the fertile San Joaquin Valley. WorldWater & Solar Technologies installed its patented AquaMax™ system, supplying power to drive a 50 HP irrigation pump as well as a 10 HP well pump. The grid-tied solar system also supplies electricity for the main residence and farm shop. Completed in December 2002, the 38 kilowatt array generates an average of 179 kilowatt hours per day of electricity.

Farm Irrigates with 50 Horsepower Irrigation Pump – Solar!
Largest irrigation solar pump (WorldWater’s AquaMax™) now operating on a farm in California’s San Joaquin Valley, builds profits by reducing electric grid usage and "Spinning the Meter Backwards"

Incentives to California farmers: Up to 40% Utility Rebate, 10% Federal Tax Credit and 7.5% California Tax Credit

Locke Ranch, Inc. of Firebaugh and WorldWater & Solar Technologies have opened California agriculture to new economic savings by using sunshine and the company’s proprietary AquaMax™ to:

  • Power a 50 hp irrigation pump and light the barn and farm offices
  • Spin the meter backwards ("Net Metering") when the self-generated electricity isn’t used in the field
  • Save for more than 25 years!
  • Operate during blackouts and brownouts

PG&E, Southern California Edison and all other state electric utilities will "bank" a farmer’s unused solar-generated electricity for later use as required by the farmer – AND give 40% of the purchase price of the solar equipment back as a rebate.

WorldWater & Solar Technologies broke the solar power barrier in 2002 by developing and marketing its patented AquaMax™ solar systems capable of operating 600 horsepower motors and water pumps.

In addition to this 50 hp installation, WorldWater & Solar Technologies has implemented another AquaMax™ which operates a 350 hp compressor pump for a food processing refrigeration unit in Edison, California. AquaMax™ can operate economically by sunshine alone or in automatic combination with the electric grid or with diesel generators.

Farmers in California, New Jersey and all over the world now have unprecedented technology available from WorldWater & Solar Technologies to grow crops – and increase profits – from sunshine!
