SolarCAM Visits Indiana State Fair

At the 2021 Indiana State Fair, Hoosiers for Renewables asked Ag Technologies, Inc. to participate in a solar exhibit at the Normandy Barn. We were given the honor of having our SolarCAM solar array selected to be on display at the exhibit for the duration of the fair. The Hoosiers for Renewables solar exhibit also featured interactive Microgrid trainers and many solar developers and providers from all over Indiana, including our team, were given the opportunity to help educate the public on solar energy.

Pictured from left to right: Indiana State Governor Eric Holcomb, Assistant Director of Hoosiers for Renewables Connie Neininger, and Director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture Bruce Kettler.

During the fair Governor Eric Holcomb made a stop at the solar exhibit where he took the opportunity to have his photo taken with the Solarcam solar array. The governor stopping by to see it speaks to the importance of solar in today’s world. We are very thankful to have had this opportunity and it is our goal to continue to grow solar in the state of Indiana. Thank you to our faithful customers who could make this possible.
