AFPW .0001 Medical Marijuana Goes Solar in Michigan

Solar’s popularity among agribusinesses is no longer confined to the more traditional ones. As the marijuana industry continues to expand across the country, many growers are making the decision to go solar.
In the past, when marijuana was completely a black market commodity, growers were forced to use banks of solar panels and battery backups to avoid detection of their operation. Utilities would notice large spikes in electricity usage and send the data to police for investigation. Avoiding arrest was the primary motivation for marijuana growers to go solar.
Today, 23 states have legalized marijuana for medicinal use, and most allow for its cultivation. Nationwide, the taxed marijuana market is worth $1.5 billion, according to a November 2013 report from ArcView Market Research. Because of the plant’s widespread cultivation across the country, the massive consumption of electricity by the high-intensity lights used poses a new problem for local utilities.
