Sustainable Solar Solutions for Farming and Agribusiness

Harness solar energy to reduce costs, increase production, and protect the environment

How Solar Energy Helps Farms Cut Costs and Create New Income

Reduce electricity costs: Farms have large roof areas and open land that are ideal for solar panels. Solar power can directly run irrigation, ventilation, cold storage, and automated feeding systems, significantly reducing dependence on grid electricity.

Increase energy independence： With battery storage, excess solar energy generated during the day can be used at night or during cloudy periods, ensuring a reliable power supply and improving resilience during outages.

Create additional income： In many regions, surplus solar energy can be exported back to the grid through net metering or feed-in tariff schemes, turning unused sunlight into an extra source of revenue.

Solar Power for Agriculture

Discover how solar energy can transform your farming operations

Many dairy farmers are using solar to power their everyday operations and equipment.

                        They're applying solar power to:
                        Run milking sheds
Heat hot water cylinders in dairy sheds
Run irrigation pumps
Run electric fences
Charge batteries
Power homes (including workers' homes)
Decrease network charges
Increase property value
Run milk cooling systems

                    

Solar is an exciting and smart way to supplement energy use by generating clean electricity. We recommend a 30kW solar system on most rotary dairy sheds which will produce an average of 150-200kWh during peak milking months, equating to a 50-70% reduction in power consumption during daylight hours.

Solar power is an ideal method of assisting large-scale grain farming to increase yields and lower operational costs.

Due to the nature of broadacre grain farming, consistent power is required for irrigation systems and crop processing – a heavy consumer of energy. Solar power systems are a great solution, especially during the high-demand growing and harvest seasons.

                        Key Benefits for Grain Farming:
                        Power center-pivot and lateral move irrigation systems
Energy for grain drying and aeration facilities
Power for workshops, silos, and automated storage systems
Stabilize energy costs during intensive planting and harvest periods
Offset high peak electricity charges for grain handling equipment

                    

Solar energy allows grain growers to not only power extensive irrigation networks but also run essential grain drying and storage facilities. This sustainable power source supports everything from high-capacity augers and conveyors to the lighting and climate control of farm infrastructure.

Solar power is an ideal method of assisting vegetable farms to improve crop quality and lower operational costs.

                        Key Benefits for Vegetable Farming:
                        Power automated drip and micro-sprinkler irrigation systems
Energy for greenhouse climate control (heating, cooling, and fans)
Support post-harvest cooling and cold storage facilities
Run washing, grading, and packaging equipment
Stabilize energy expenses during intensive year-round growing cycles

                    

Solar energy allows growers to harness the sun to not only power precision irrigation networks but also maintain optimal greenhouse environments. This sustainable energy source is essential for modern vegetable farming, supporting everything from seedling nurseries to advanced cold chain storage.

Solar, Farming and the Environment

Powering with solar energy is a clean, affordable, and sustainable way for farms to generate energy.

                Environmental Advantages:
                Air pollution reduction: Solar energy use means that harmful carbon dioxide and methane emissions from traditional fossil fuel energy generation are reduced
Water pollution reduction: Solar power systems don't need water to generate electricity, which is a huge benefit compared to traditional power generation processes
Reduced need for finite resources: Solar energy is renewable. It runs off the world's most plentiful energy source, the sun, and it can be used over and over again
