Powering your business with solar energy

Businesses across the world are realising the great benefits of Solar power. With the New Zealand sun providing free energy, now is the time to invest in this renewable energy source.

Agriculture and Solar have been creating a great relationship with the seasonal production of solar power and energy storage. 

Solar allows you to benefit from a higher solar yield in the summer months, when irrigation rates and dairy production is higher and lower energy consumption requirements in winter, when less solar is generated.
With solar power, you can not only use the energy as the sun shines, you can also store the energy for later use.
Through our partners we can design and implement a system for your business, enabling you to beat the rising energy costs, offset emissions, and make better use of a natural resource to produce and store renewable energy.

Solar power can not only be used for powering irrigators & dairy sheds, it can also be used to offset the cost of lighting, heating and ventilation in farm housing and buildings.

By factoring in energy storage, there is also a great opportunity to stabilise your energy costs throughout the year.
