Absolutely. Farm and acreage solar is one of our core strengths throughout Tama County and across Iowa. We design and install ground-mounted systems for grain operations, livestock facilities, and irrigation setups.

Yes, and doing both simultaneously is often the most cost-effective approach. Wolf River Electric offers solar roofing packages that coordinate roof replacement and solar installation under one team and one contract. Rolling both into solar financing can make the combined investment more accessible.

Yes. We install Level 2 EV charging stations for Traer homes and businesses as a standalone service or bundled with a solar installation. Pairing EV charging with solar is one of the most efficient ways to power a vehicle, your panels generate the electricity, and you charge at effectively zero fuel cost after the system pays for itself.
What is a SPAN smart panel and is it available in Traer?
A SPAN smart panel replaces your standard breaker box with an intelligent energy management system that gives you real-time control and visibility over every circuit in your home. Paired with solar and battery storage, SPAN lets Traer homeowners decide which loads run on solar, which run on battery during outages, and how energy flows through the day. Wolf River Electric is a certified SPAN installer serving Tama County.

Wolf River Electric backs every installation with a 25-year warranty on panels and labor through manufacturer programs such as REC ProTrust. Traer homeowners invest with the confidence that their system, and their savings, are protected well past the break-even point.
