Starland County in east-central Alberta is home to about 2,000 farmers and a whole lot of prairie, not exactly the place you would think to look for people on the bleeding edge of solar energy deployment. But it turns out these farmers are solar innovators. The county started using solar power 10 years ago to move water, a precious and rare resource in these parts, around the county. Those big pumps come with big electricity bills so they began using solar energy. It worked so well that in less than a decade the county started working with farmers so they could get solar too. And their projects are paying for themselves in just 10-13 years.
