Case Study
Solar Project Overview
Large-scale 78kW array powering irrigation and processing equipment on a commercial farm.
Outcome: Irrigation uptime increased from 12 to 24 hours/day; diesel usage cut by 85%; crop yield improved by 20% due to consistent watering.
Problems Solved
- Provide consistent, high-capacity energy to run heavy irrigation pumps without grid reliance
- Slash operational costs by replacing expensive diesel generators with solar power
- Boost crop yields by enabling precise, scheduled watering regardless of ZESA availability
- Power post-harvest processing machinery to reduce spoilage and maximise output
Full Case Study
We deployed a 78kW ground-mount array paired with three 3-phase inverters to run high-capacity irrigation pumps and processing equipment. The system is monitored via drone overflights that check panel health and wiring integrity, reducing manual inspection time.
