Reliable solar and back-up energy solutions for farms and agricultural businesses in South Africa.
South Africa is well-positioned to lead the continent in solar energy adoption, thanks to its abundant sunshine and growing need for reliable power solutions. For farmers, investing in solar can provide a practical and cost-effective way to reduce dependence on the grid while ensuring a stable energy supply for essential operations. Depending on the solar system setup, solar energy can fully or partially power key infrastructure such as sheds, packhouses, cellars, workshops, offices, and water pumping systems.
Additionally, with a Grid-Tie system (where permitted), any surplus energy generated—such as on weekends or during periods of low demand—can be fed back into the local municipal grid using a bi-directional meter, potentially earning credits to offset electricity costs. By integrating solar power, farms can enhance energy security, lower operational expenses, and contribute to a more sustainable agricultural future.
