Text CORE NowAgricultural energy costs have climbed 40%+ since 2020. Whether you are on PG&E, SCE, or another Central Valley utility — your rate is set by regulators. You have no say. And every year you do nothing, you fall further behind.
A typical operation running a 150–200 HP pump on a PG&E AG-C rate pays $50,000 to $100,000 a year just to run that pump. At 4% annual escalation, your $69,000 bill today becomes $102,000 in 10 years — and you still own nothing. No asset. No protection. No way out.
PG&E and SCE ag rates have risen relentlessly — and further increases are approved through 2028. There is no ceiling. There is no negotiating.
Every dollar you send to PG&E and SCE is gone forever. No equity. No resale value. No write-down. The most expensive line item on your operation — and you own none of it.
Every year you wait, next year's bill is 4% higher. A $69K bill today compounds to over $2.9M paid out over 25 years — with nothing to show for it.
Traditional solar was never designed for farmers. Massive capital requirements, complex permitting, no O&M support. CORE was built to solve all of that.
Based on a $69,000 annual pump energy bill at 4% annual escalation. These are not projections — this is the math.
Ag Equity is not a solar company. We are an agricultural energy optimization company. Every component is sized and controlled for your specific pump, crop, watering cycle, and rate schedule.
~150 kW Sollega FastRack ballasted ground mount. No concrete footings. No soil penetration. No structural permits. Uses 42% less land than traditional racking. Engineered to be relocated if you ever need that ground back.
Sollega FastRack~50 kWh Yotta LiFePO4 battery integrated beneath the solar racking — not a separate pad in your yard. Stores midday solar to power your pump through PG&E's peak rate windows, where costs are 3–5x higher per kWh.
Yotta LiFePO4A VFD matches motor speed to actual demand in real time — eliminating the massive inrush current spike every time your pump starts. Drops kWh consumption immediately, and adds 5–10 years to your motor's life.
Immediate SavingsReal-time soil moisture and flow data feed CORE's scheduling engine. Most operations are pumping 15–25% more water than crops need. CORE stops that waste — cutting total water usage while maintaining or improving yields.
10–30% Water ReductionOur proprietary Pump Optimization and Operations Layer runs 24/7 on a dedicated 4G cellular connection — no farm WiFi needed. It schedules pump runtime during the 12–14 daily solar hours and automatically avoids PG&E peak demand windows.
Proprietary Control SystemCORE monitors performance 24/7 for the full lease term. All maintenance, repairs, and service is CORE's responsibility — not yours. Your lease payment is your only variable. No surprise service calls. Production is guaranteed in writing.
Zero Surprise CostsWe handle everything — engineering, permitting, installation, monitoring. Most farmers go from first conversation to live system in under 90 days.
Send us your PG&E or SCE bill. We model your pump, rate schedule, and solar production window — and return a real 25-year financial analysis, not a brochure.
Your proposal shows exact Year 1 savings, your fixed monthly payment, the Year 10 ownership date, and your 25-year total cost vs. the do-nothing path. Real numbers for your operation.
$0 upfront. Ag Equity coordinates agricultural bank financing underwritten on your farm's financials — no capital required. You sign. We immediately begin engineering and permitting.
Ag Equity's crew handles everything: solar, racking, battery, VFD, sensors, and cellular controller. Most systems installed in 2–3 days with minimal disruption to your operation.
Your system goes live. Your PG&E or SCE bill drops immediately. Ag Equity monitors 24/7. You just farm.
Lease ends. No buyout. No balloon. The entire system transfers to you. You then run on free solar energy for 15+ more years.
175 HP pump. PG&E AG-C rate. Central Valley almond operation. Not a hypothetical — an actual engineered system model.
Numbers based on engineered system model at 4% annual rate escalation. Individual results vary by pump size, rate schedule, crop type, and solar production. System production guaranteed per lease agreement.
Ag Equity's lease is structured through an agricultural bank that underwrites the same way any ag equipment lender does — based on your farm's financial history, not a consumer credit score.
Ag Equity's lease is financed through an agricultural lender — the same type of institution that funds your equipment and operating lines. They underwrite on your farm's actual financial performance.
The CORE system is leased to you for 10 years. The bank holds the paper; Ag Equity operates and maintains everything. At Year 10, full ownership transfers to you automatically — free and clear, no final payment, no buyout clause.
Ag Equity doesn't propose a system unless the numbers pencil. Your Day 1 total cost — new utility bill plus lease payment — must be lower than what you pay today. If it doesn't work for your operation, we'll tell you upfront.
If you're running an agricultural pump on PG&E or SCE power in the Central Valley, CORE was built for you. Water-intensive crops with large pump loads benefit most.
High water demand, 6–9 month seasons — the highest energy bills and the most to gain.
Precision irrigation needs met by CORE's sensor system and intelligent scheduling.
Year-round pump loads and consistent demand — ideal for full solar offset.
Multiple pumps, complex schedules — CORE scales to cover all pump loads on a single property.
If water cost and energy cost are both squeezing margins, CORE addresses both simultaneously. Water savings and energy savings — same system.
Ballasted, non-penetrating ground mount. No concrete. No structural permits. Ag-specific engineering.
IP65-rated lithium iron phosphate. Integrated under solar racking — compact, reliable, zero maintenance.
Eliminates inrush current spike. Reduces kWh draw. Adds 5–10 years to pump motor life.
Real-time moisture and flow data eliminates over-pumping without impacting crop yield targets.
Twilio IoT SIM — 5-year plan, no farm WiFi needed. CORE monitors and controls 24/7.
Proprietary scheduling engine. Runs your pump on solar. Avoids TOU peak charges automatically.
Zero. $0 upfront, $0 installation cost, $0 capital required. Ag Equity arranges the financing through an agricultural bank. The only thing you pay is the monthly lease — which is sized so your Day 1 total energy cost (new PG&E bill + lease) is less than what you pay today. Most operators are cash-flow positive from their first billing cycle.
The lease ends. Full stop. There is no buyout, no balloon payment, no surprise fee. The entire system — solar panels, battery, VFD, sensors, POOL software license — transfers to you free and clear. You then operate on free solar energy for the remaining 15+ year system life. Your avoided energy cost in Year 11 alone typically exceeds your original annual PG&E bill.
Yes. Ag Equity's system runs your pump — you don't operate anything differently. The POOL software manages scheduling automatically based on solar availability and your watering cycle. You set your crop watering requirements once; the system handles everything else. You'll notice your utility bill drop. You won't notice the system.
The battery buffer handles short gaps. If extended low-production periods occur, the system draws from the grid as backup — but CORE's software minimizes that automatically, prioritizing stored solar first. Your pump always has power. System production is guaranteed in writing in your lease agreement.
Ag Equity's financing is underwritten by an agricultural bank — the same type that funds your equipment and operating lines. They don't rely on a consumer credit score. What they want to see is 3 years of farm tax returns or financial statements that show your operation's revenue and cash flow. If your farm has been producing, that's what qualifies you.
Text CORE to (559) 844-7093 or call us directly. Send a photo of your most recent utility bill. We'll return a custom 25-year financial analysis specific to your pump, your rate schedule, and your watering season — within 48 hours. No sales call until you want one.
Not the same thing. Traditional rooftop or ground-mount solar involves permits, HOA approvals, and PG&E interconnection applications that can take 18 months. Ag Equity installs a pump-specific energy optimization system — solar generation, battery storage, a variable frequency drive on your motor, and software that schedules your pump around solar availability and off-peak rate windows. No home installation. No permits required under current California plug-and-play rules. No net metering. The system goes at your pump site only. If a solar company burned you before, this is structurally different — and we show you every number in writing before you agree to anything.
Yes. We work with operations across a range of sizes — from smaller family wells to large multi-pump operations. What matters is your annual pumping load and watering cycle, not the size of the farm. A 150–200 acre walnut or pistachio operation with a dedicated well pump typically qualifies. If you're not sure, send us your utility bill and we'll tell you within 24 hours — no commitment required, no sales pressure.
That's a fair question and we'd ask it too. Ag Equity is registered in California. Financing is done through a licensed agricultural bank — not a startup lender or a solar leasing company. The 25-year financial model we build is based on your actual PG&E or SCE bill, your actual rate schedule, and your actual pump size — every number is transparent and auditable. We don't ask for a decision until you've had time to review the model with your accountant or family. We also speak Punjabi. ਅਸੀਂ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਬੋਲਦੇ ਹਾਂ। Call us at (559) 844-7093 and talk to a real person.
PG&E AG-C and AG-B are two-part rates — you pay for both the energy you consume (kWh) and the peak demand you draw (kW). Our system targets both components. Solar generation and battery storage reduce your baseline kWh consumption by 85–90%. The POOL software schedules your pump runtime to avoid PG&E's peak rate windows, which reduces your demand charge as well. Because your lease payment is fixed for 10 years while PG&E rates keep rising, your savings grow automatically every year. Year 1 savings are typically 18–22% of your current total bill. Send us your PG&E bill and we'll build the full breakdown in 48 hours.
Yes, and SCE TOU-PA-3 customers often see the strongest results. Your rate structure charges you for peak demand windows — the 15-minute interval of highest draw in a billing cycle. That's where most of your bill comes from, and it's exactly what our system targets. The POOL software schedules your pump runtime to avoid SCE's peak demand windows entirely, running primarily on stored solar during those periods. The result: your demand charge component drops significantly on top of baseline kWh savings. Send us your SCE bill and we'll show you the demand charge math specifically.
Farmers who act now start saving in 2027. The ones who wait face another bill that's 4% higher than this year's. Send us your utility bill today — we do the rest.
