Options for Solar on Farms
Farmers have different solar options depending on the size of their operation and energy requirements. We offer a variety of solutions to meet your specific needs. Here are some options that may work for you:
-
Use rooftops on sheds or install ground-mounted panels in open paddocks. Both options offer flexible setups to match your available space and power needs.
-
Choose between a simple grid-connected system or a hybrid inverter for storage-ready flexibility. Great for farms looking to expand their energy systems over time.
-
Store surplus energy for overnight use or in case of weather-related outages. This is especially useful for remote areas or operations needing consistent power.
-
Run pumps, milking systems, or hot water heaters during optimal solar production hours. Timers help reduce reliance on peak-grid power.
-
Essential for rural properties that experience outages or rely on consistent power for critical operations like irrigation, refrigeration, or livestock care.
