SINGAPORE, June 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oakridge Dairy in Connecticut is built upon 120 years of old school values and farming traditions, but the largest dairy farm in the Northeast U.S. is anything but old school. Oakridge practices forward-thinking, sustainable farming that promotes the land, its cows, and the community, powering its operations with advanced solar energy solutions from Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd.

Leading dairy farm powers sustainable operations with Maxeon solar energy solutions

Oakridge Dairy is home to nearly 3,000 cows and includes a massive, 8-acre barn topped with 752 solar panels capable of generating up to 1,200 kilowatt hours of energy per day. System designer and installer Earthlight Technologies optimized the system's power generation with Maxeon high efficiency solar panels that enable clean energy to meet Oakridge's significant electricity needs.

"The U.S. dairy industry has reduced the carbon footprint of milk by 63% in recent decades, and Oakridge is proud to be a leader in this effort," said Seth Bahler, CEO, Oakridge Dairy LLC. "We strive to create the farm of the future, starting with healthy, happy cows and homegrown food and by embracing innovation to empower sustainable operations. Maxeon solar solutions are highly efficient and reliably generate clean energy for decades, which is important for a business with a vision that spans generations."

Maxeon solar panels feature exceptional performance and are also built to last, as supported by an industry-leading 40-year warranty, significantly reducing the need for new materials and recycling while generating clean power and preventing millions of tons of carbon emissions.
