Solar energy farming mirrors traditional farming in many ways. Both involve harnessing natural resources—soil for crops, sunlight for energy.

This analogy resonates with our agricultural clients, who understand the value of nurturing and sustainability.

Brent Satterfield serves as owner and founder of North Alabama Solar, LLC. Brent is a poultry and cattle farmer in Geraldine, Alabama. He grew up on a farm and took over the family farm in 2005. Brent's interest in solar begin in 2016 when he purchased a 100kw solar system for his poultry operation. He quickly realized the huge benefits to going solar such as the REAP grant, the tax credits and depreciation of equipment. And lest we forget, the reduction of dependance on the local power grid for the farm. Brent felt there was something missing in the solar industry and that was local participation. After spending three years in search of a dependable solar company to maintain and service his personal system he made the decision to start North Alabama Solar, LLC.
