Solar planning for Farms and Agriculture.
A farm may have several different load groups operating at different times: irrigation pumps, boreholes, cold rooms, sorting and packing equipment, workshops and staff facilities. The design process should identify which loads operate during sunlight hours, which need support after sunset and which must remain available during an outage.
What we need to assess
- Seasonal electricity bills and irrigation schedules
- Pump motor ratings, starting current and duty cycles
- Cold-room and refrigeration loads, including restart behaviour
- Available roof or ground-mounted PV area and shading
- Critical circuits, backup duration and battery recharge opportunities
- Electrical supply, distribution boards and utility requirements
How system capacity is selected
The 20kW, 40kW, 50kW, 80kW and 100kW examples on our website are illustrative configurations. The appropriate system depends on the site load profile, peak demand, operating schedule, electrical supply, available PV area, battery duty and grid requirements. A technical review is required before a design or performance estimate can be confirmed.
