Buffalo Milk Australia is a company located in Koroop, Victoria and is part of a fast-growing segment in Australia’s dairy market, producing rich, creamy buffalo milk that’s becoming increasingly popular among consumers nationwide. With rising demand for buffalo dairy products such as milk, cheese and yoghurt, the company has expanded operations to meet production needs, driving the need for dependable, efficient dairy power solutions.

Stabilising and Centralising Power Supply

The dairy's existing three-phase grid supply was inconsistent and unable to provide the reliability needed for daily operations. There was also an ageing solar system on the property that included GoodWe inverters, 45kW of solar panels and a backup generator, which no longer met the growing energy requirements of the property. This created a fragmented, costly setup with inconsistent performance, particularly during peak milking times when refrigeration, pumping and processing equipment were in full use.

MyEnergy were brought in to design and install a new centralised power supply to stabilise the farm’s power, remove fragmentation and ensure consistent three-phase delivery throughout the site. The upgraded system was also integrated with the existing GoodWe inverters and charge controllers, optimising the original investment while improving efficiency and reliability across the property.

Engineered for Dairy Demands

Using world-first technology such as the Deye High Voltage Hybrid Inverter Three Phase system, coupled with an expertly configured power setup, the installation delivers precision energy management and reliability across the entire operation. This advanced technology automatically balances solar generation, battery storage and backup sources, ensuring stable and efficient three-phase dairy power for every stage of production.

Combining large-scale solar with ample battery storage and smart control integration, the new system provides reliable and efficient power for daily operations. The property already had around 45kW of existing solar mounted on one of the shed roofs, which MyEnergy integrated into the upgraded system. An additional 120 JA Solar panels were installed on another shed, adding 52.8kW of new solar generation to further strengthen supply. Together, these systems work alongside the Deye High Voltage Hybrid Inverter Three Phase 50kW and Deye GE-F120-4H6 120kWh battery to provide smooth, uninterrupted performance during morning and afternoon milking cycles. Built for scalability, the system supports current operations while allowing for future expansion as production continues to grow.

System Overview

• Solar: 52.8kW JA Solar Panels
• Inverter: 50kW Deye High Voltage Hybrid Inverter Three Phase 5
• Battery: 120kWh Deye GE-F120-4H6
• Mounting System: Schletter Roof Mount

Reliable Dairy Power for the Future

With a centralised three-phase off-grid power system now in place, Buffalo Milk Australia benefits from stable and reliable dairy power across the entire property, with the grid and generator available for backup when required. This upgrade eliminates fragmentation, improves control and ensures consistent performance through every milking cycle, ensuring ample power is available for heat pumps servicing the hot water systems, milk chillers and vacuum pumps, each demanding varying levels of energy throughout the day.

With a focus on reliability and scalability, MyEnergy continues to deliver tailored solar and battery systems for Australia’s agricultural sector, helping dairies like Buffalo Milk Australia in Koroop achieve dependable power where it’s needed most.
