Solar power for farms
Let the sun do the pumping.
Pumping is usually the biggest running cost on an irrigated farm, and diesel is the most painful part of it. Once the sun is doing that work, irrigating more often stops being a decision about fuel money.
The problem
Diesel pumping ties every irrigation decision to fuel price and a trip to town. Grid power, where it exists, is often far from the field and unreliable.
How it works
From survey to running system
- 1
Measure the load
Pump duty, fan duty, cold-room load — sized from what actually runs, not a guess.
- 2
Design in stages
Solar bought in halves where it makes sense, so you can start small and add capacity with the equipment that needs it.
- 3
Install and hand over
Panels, charge control, battery and protection, commissioned and explained.
What you get
Why farms choose it
No fuel runs
Irrigate when the crop needs it, not when there is diesel.
Designed with the automation
The same team sizes the power and the equipment that uses it.
Questions
Solar power for farms: FAQ
Can the automation run entirely on solar?
Yes. Field sensors, valves and controllers are low-voltage DC and designed for solar. Heavy loads like large extractor fans are sized against what the array can deliver.
