Absolutely. Farm and acreage solar is one of our core strengths throughout Pottawattamie County and across Iowa. We design and install ground-mounted systems for grain operations, livestock facilities, and irrigation setups. Farm solar often delivers the strongest ROI because high daytime loads align directly with peak solar production hours.

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 Underwood 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.

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.

Wolf River Electric is a certified SPAN installer serving Pottawattamie County.
