Off-Grid Power Systems for Piggeries
Reliable Power for Piggeries, Without Relying on the Grid
Keep ventilation, feeding, water, heating and critical farm infrastructure running with an off-grid power system designed around the demands of your piggery.
MyEnergy designs and installs complete solar, battery and generator power systems for piggeries and agricultural operations across Australia.
Power Designed Around Piggery Operations
Piggeries can have significant and continuous electrical loads. Ventilation, feeding, water and environmental controls need dependable power, while pumps, augers and motors can create high starting loads.
That makes proper system design critical.
We assess the complete operation, including:
- Ventilation fans and environmental controls
- Feed systems, augers and conveyors
- Water and bore pumps
- Heating and cooling
- Lighting and general electrical loads
- Motor starting requirements
- Existing generator capacity
- Seasonal operating changes
- Planned sheds or future expansion
The system is then designed around the actual operating profile of the farm rather than simply its average daily electricity consumption.
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.
Off-Grid Power for Australian Agriculture
MyEnergy has been designing and installing off-grid and remote power systems since 2010.
Our agricultural projects range from individual farm power systems through to larger commercial and remote installations incorporating solar, battery storage, generators and automated controls.
We manage the complete project from load assessment and system design through to installation, commissioning, monitoring and ongoing support.
Planning Power for a Piggery?
Whether you're developing a new piggery, expanding an existing operation or looking to reduce generator use, MyEnergy can design a power system around the way your farm actually operates.
