Agricultural solar project
Project overview
The project involved the installation of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system to power a medium-sized farm’s irrigation pumps, storage facilities, and processing units. The goal was to reduce dependency on grid electricity.
Challenges
The system included 150 solar panels with a total capacity of 75 kW, a hybrid inverter setup, and energy storage to ensure consistent power supply during peak demand and non-sunny hours.
High Energy Demand for Irrigation
Remote Location
Variable Sunlight & Weather Conditions
Integration with Existing Equipment
Maintenance & Durability
Solution
Panels were strategically installed on open land areas and rooftops of farm buildings to maximize solar exposure. Smart controllers and sensors were implemented to manage pump operations efficiently.
Results
Real-time monitoring allowed the farm to track energy production, consumption, and maintenance needs effectively. The project achieved payback within 4–5 years due to energy savings and incentives.
Client feedback
The solar team provided a well-planned, professional installation that has transformed our farm’s energy usage. Our irrigation system runs reliably without depending on costly diesel generators, and the energy savings.
