Solar Guard

See how much water Your Farm Could Save

Every crop requires a significant amount of water each season, with many major U.S. crops averaging 15–35 inches per acre, or roughly 400,000–950,000 gallons annually. Because Solar Guard can help improve water use efficiency and reduce water loss by up to 20% or more, this chart shows what those savings could look like across different crops. Use it to estimate the potential gallons and inches of water your farm could save when Solar Guard is applied acre after acre, season after season.
