Regional SA Farm Solar & Storage

Esena reviewed the farm's seasonal load pattern, distinguishing baseline shed and cool-room consumption from the seasonal spike associated with irrigation pumping, to avoid oversizing the system around a short peak period.

A solar and battery system was proposed to cover baseline daytime load and provide backup capacity for essential circuits, with pumping load assessed separately for direct solar offset during operating hours.

Site works accounted for the property's existing switchboard and distance between the shed and main residence, with cabling and metering configured to suit the property's layout.

Project profile, indicative figures based on comparable regional agricultural installations. Individual results vary and are subject to site assessment, pumping schedule and seasonal conditions.

Properties with a similar baseline-plus-seasonal-peak load profile typically achieve strong solar offset for shed and cool-room baseline load year-round, with additional offset for pumping load concentrated in the growing season. Backup coverage for essential circuits during an outage depends on battery state of charge and load at the time of the event.
