38 kW rooftop array with battery backup, sized to the milking load. Partly REAP-funded.
Ceed Energy designs, engineers, and funds renewable-energy projects for the institutions that anchor communities — farms, churches, nonprofits, and public agencies. Small-business agility, utility-grade engineering.
Large developers chase megawatts and decade-long power-purchase agreements. The farm watching its diesel bill climb, the congregation stretched by utility costs, and the agency with a modest facilities budget get told their project is too small or too complex to bother with.
Ceed Energy was built for exactly those projects — and built to deliver them properly. We bring licensed engineering rigor, grid-operations experience, and the grant and interconnection know-how that turns a good idea into a funded, permitted, working system.
Engage us for one phase or the full path — assessment, design, funding, and interconnection.
We measure the load, read the site for sun and wind, and model production and payback before anyone buys hardware.
Solar, wind, storage, and efficiency retrofits — engineered to the actual site, load, and local code.
Research-backed vertical turbines for farmyards, tight lots, and gusty low-wind sites conventional turbines can't serve.
SpecialtyInterconnection applications, metering, and distributed-energy controls — drawn from hands-on utility ADMS/DERMS work.
USDA REAP, federal tax credits, and nonprofit-friendly financing — the paperwork that makes a project pencil out.
Independent review, commissioning, and measurement & verification so the system performs as modeled after handoff.
Tall horizontal turbines need open, steady wind and a lot of room. Near barns, tree lines, and rooftops — exactly where our clients live — the wind is gusty and shifting, and those machines stall or shake themselves apart.
Vertical-axis turbines don't care which way the wind blows. They take it from any heading, run quieter, sit lower, and tolerate the turbulence that defeats conventional turbines.
It's the core of our ongoing research — and the reason a farm or campus can host wind a developer would have written off.
Different missions, the same problem: rising energy costs and no obvious way in. Here's what changes once the system goes in.
Turn unused acreage and steady wind into an asset while cutting the cost of irrigation, cold storage, and operations.
Protect a tight budget from rising utility bills, free money for ministry, and steward creation visibly.
Predictable energy costs mean more of every grant and gift reaches the mission — and the array shows your commitment.
Municipal, county, tribal, and federal facilities looking to cut energy spend and meet resilience and sustainability goals.
Representative projects.

Vertical-axis turbines at the farmyard edge, feeding shop and well loads through gusty wind.
Rooftop solar with resilience storage for a county building; interconnection handled end to end.
Pole-mount array on an unused lot, locking in predictable energy costs for 20+ years.
LED, controls, and envelope work — utility spend cut before a single panel went up.
Vertical wind paired with solar to carry the load through calm and cloudy stretches alike.

Ceed Energy is a Minnesota renewable-energy consultancy that pairs small-business responsiveness with the engineering discipline of far larger firms. We're led by people who've kept the grid stable at utility scale — and we bring that standard to every project, whether it's a church roof or a county facility.
Mechanical engineer with utility grid-management experience across ADMS and DERMS platforms; leads engineering and delivery.
