Solar, Battery and Generator Working Together

A reliable piggery off-grid system combines solar, battery storage, inverter capacity and generator backup into one integrated power system.

During the day, solar can supply farm loads directly while charging the batteries. Stored energy supports the site overnight and during periods of lower solar production.

When required, the generator can automatically start to support the system, supply larger loads or recharge the batteries during extended poor weather.

This approach can significantly reduce generator operating hours while maintaining backup power when it is needed.

Critical Loads Need Reliable Power

Loss of power to ventilation, water or feeding equipment can quickly become a serious problem.

Our systems are designed with critical farm loads in mind, including appropriate inverter capacity, battery storage, generator integration and system monitoring.

Remote monitoring can provide visibility of:

Solar production | Battery state | Farm consumption | Generator operation | System alarms

This allows system performance to be monitored without needing to be standing in front of the equipment.

Reduce Reliance on Diesel Generation

For remote piggeries already operating from generators, adding solar and battery storage can substantially reduce generator runtime.

Instead of running a generator continuously through periods of relatively low demand, the battery system can carry the loads and automatically bring the generator online when required.

This can reduce fuel consumption, generator servicing, engine hours and the logistics involved in keeping diesel on site.

New Piggeries, Expansions and Existing Farms

MyEnergy can design systems for new piggery developments or assess existing sites looking to move away from grid or generator dependence.

For new projects, getting involved early allows the power system to be designed alongside the electrical infrastructure.

For existing operations, we can review current consumption, generator operation and major loads to determine the appropriate solar, battery and inverter capacity.

Built for Future Expansion

A piggery's power requirements can change considerably as additional sheds, feeding equipment, pumps or other infrastructure are added.

Where expansion is planned, we can design the initial system with a pathway for additional solar, battery storage and inverter capacity rather than restricting the farm to its current requirements.
