Description
Description:
Agricultural solar solutions are tailored to meet the unique energy demands of modern farming operations, combining clean energy generation with efficient agricultural practices. Ranging from 1 kW to 100 kW+, these systems support a wide range of applications including irrigation, cold storage, crop processing, and farm automation. They offer farmers energy independence, reduced operational costs, and enhanced resilience against power outages or rising fuel prices.
With innovations like agri-PV (agriculture-integrated photovoltaics), these solutions can even double as shade structures, improving crop yields in arid regions while producing electricity.
Applications:
-
Solar Irrigation Systems:
Powering water pumps for fields, greenhouses, and orchards without relying on grid electricity or diesel. -
Cold Storage & Processing Units:
Running temperature-controlled storage for perishable produce, ensuring quality and reducing spoilage. -
Farm Automation:
Powering electric fencing, lighting, sensors, and control systems for precision farming. -
Agri-PV Systems:
Dual-use elevated solar panel structures that provide shade and protection for crops while generating power.
Typical Components:
-
Solar Water Pumps (AC/DC):
