Milking & control systems
Robotic or conventional milking equipment, vacuum pumps, compressed air and automated controls.
Off-Grid Power for Robotic Dairies
Reliable Power for 24/7 Dairy Operations
Robotic dairies place very different demands on a power system.
Milking robots, vacuum pumps, compressors, hot water, refrigeration and other farm loads need reliable power around the clock. For properties with limited grid capacity, unreliable rural supply or no practical grid connection, a properly designed off grid power system can provide a reliable alternative.
MyEnergy Engineering designs and installs off-grid solar, battery and generator systems for robotic dairies and dairy farms across Australia.
Dairy power systemsPower built around
Power built around
the dairy day.
Complete solar, battery and generator systems for robotic and conventional dairies, designed around the equipment that keeps the farm running.
Milking, cooling, hot water and pumping can overlap. We design for those real operating demands, including sites with limited or no grid supply.

The whole dairy.
Not just the average load.
A daily energy total does not show what happens when compressors, milk cooling and wash cycles operate together. We review the equipment schedule, starting loads and overnight demand so the system is designed around the dairy’s actual routine.

Talk to our teamCan you power a new robotic dairy off-grid?
We can assess a complete off-grid system using solar, batteries and generator support. Design starts with equipment requirements, operating hours and the expected load profile.
Can we keep our current generator?
We assess its capacity, condition and control compatibility before recommending how it can be incorporated.
Can the system allow for more robots or cooling capacity?
Future equipment can be included in the design brief. The expansion pathway depends on the original system architecture, site space and the loads being added.
