Agricultural Solar Installations

Reliable solar and back-up energy solutions for farms and agricultural businesses in South Africa.

Why us?

Solar for farms 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.

How we work

Step 1: Audit & Advise
At Green Power Simplified, we make it easy to start with solar energy. Our process begins with a detailed audit and advice phase. We’ll provide you with an inventory form to list your power needs, allowing us to estimate your ideal solar system and associated costs. Once we’ve reviewed these initial options, we’ll conduct an on-site visit to confirm your energy requirements. This lets us design a customized solar solution that perfectly matches your home, lodge, or business needs for reliable, renewable energy.

Step 2: System Design
We design a solar system tailored to your specific needs, whether for a fully off-grid setup, a supplementary system, or a grid-tied solution. Using your energy audit data, we create a system that might include PV panels, an inverter, and, if needed, a battery bank for continuous power. For reliable backup during low-sun days, options like a generator or the Eskom grid can be integrated. All components are globally sourced and meet the highest standards for quality and performance.
