- solar powered pellets - In July of 2016, Roy Farms installed two large-scale solar arrays, aiming to offset the energy consumed during production of our Harvest Fresh Pellets®. Each solar array is comprised of 380 solar modules, creating a separate 98.8kW photovoltaic system on the roof of each pellet facility. The system is expected to produce an average of 257,855 kWh per year, more than enough to “net-zero” or offset 100% of the energy consumed during the power-hungry pelleting process. All power purchased from the grid to produce pellets in 2016 was 100% offset by solar power. This is the first major step in a long-term venture into renewable energy.   PAGE 20
