There is hardly any industry more subject to cost pressures than agriculture. Reducing bottom-line costs can mean the difference between profitability and a loss making enterprise. Energy efficient agriculture is not a pipe-dream, but a reality for many farmers already.
We have partnered with government organisations and suppliers of agricultural technology to deliver true cost savings to our clients in regards to:
-
Irrigation and other pumping with solar power and/or hybrid solar/diesel or solar/grid systems
-
Energy efficient milking
-
Energy efficient farm shed ventilation
-
Heat recovery options
-
Biogas generation for on-farm electricity and heat/cold generation
-
Floating solar installation on farm dams and other water bodies.
Solar operated small pump
Solar pump with battery or diesel backup
Solar pump with buffer tank
Floating Solar platforms are becoming affordable
VFDs can greatly improve the efficiency of milking lines
Farm shed ventilation can use lots of power
LED lighting saves on power and allows for different light colour temperatures
Wind turbines – not for every site, but excellent returns for the right site
