Surfing Goat Dairy Catches the Solar Energy Wave - Case Study

Surfing Goat Dairy, located on the slopes of Maui's Haleakala Crater has been producing award winning “Maui Gourmet Goat Cheeses” for 10+ years. Owned and operated by German expatriates Thomas and Eva Kafsack, Surfing Goat Dairy represents one of only two goat dairies in the state. It is located on 42 acres with almost two-thirds dedicated as pasture, giving the Dairy's three bucks and over 100 does plenty of space to roam and forage.
Surfing Goat decided they wanted to transition their farm from oil burning electricity to clean solar energy and brought in Haleakala Solar to do the job. The challenge was to design a system that would utilize the structures that were in place while still creating enough electricity to fulfill the farm’s energy needs. In the end, 210 Motech Panels (at 235 Watts per panel) using Enphase inverters were installed. 132 went on the barn and 78 went on the carport. Installation went off without a hitch and Surfing Goat now saves over $2,000/month on their electric bill.
