Your goat farm requires continuous power. The barns require careful climate control and ventilation, which naturally runs continuously throughout the day. Feeding systems and lighting also require constant power.
So your farm's energy needs are relatively constant throughout the year - even when the sun isn't shining. This makes wind energy the ideal solution for supplying your farm with reliable electricity, day and night, year-round. Because wind blows even when the sun isn’t shining.
Your systems run day and night. Solar energy has a distinct peak time, meaning you feed a large portion of your energy back into the grid during the day and run short in the evening.
A farmyard windmill is the solution, because the wind blows both day and night. The generated energy stays on your farm, and you can use it immediately.
Here’s what that looks like:

With a small wind turbine, you can generate your own electricity year-round. You can also supplement your summer energy needs with solar panels. This gives you predictable generation throughout the seasons.
A small wind turbine allows for more simultaneous generation: the generated energy is used directly on your property.
"The combination makes it interesting. Last year we had a lot of sun in the spring and summer and a lot of wind in the fall and winter. What Ecoways had predicted for us was exactly right. The farm windmills generated 63,000 kWh that year between the two of them and the solar panels generated 74,000 kWh."
