The agricultural sector consumes a considerable amount of energy - from ventilation and milking equipment to cooling, irrigation and lighting. At the same time, farms often offer plenty of space for self-generation. With solar panels, battery storage and on-farm charging infrastructure, you can make your energy supply smarter, cheaper and future-proof. Shift to Solar helps agricultural entrepreneurs with solar solutions that really work at the rhythm of your farm.
Solar carports for farms and yards
Use open space in the yard to generate renewable power - without additional buildings or pressure on the roof. Solar carports Combine energy extraction with equipment protection.
What this delivers:
- Sustainable energy generation on yard or parking space
- Shelter for agricultural vehicles, machinery and wagons
- Reduce energy costs and boost your margin
- Visible sustainability towards chain, buyers and consumers
A solar carport provides practical benefits as well as enhancing your sustainable image.
Battery storage for agricultural businesses
Solar energy is most available when demand is sometimes low - for example, during the day in summer. With a battery use your generated power when you really need it.
What this delivers:
- Operational reliability in case of power failures or peak usage
- Less dependence on grid connection and capacity
- More efficient use of energy in irrigation, ventilation or milking
- Flexibility for future applications such as heat pumps or e-machines
Battery storage makes your energy supply more stable and future-proof.
Charging stations for electric vehicles and machines
The agricultural sector is rapidly electrifying. With charging stations in your yard, prepare for the arrival of electric farm machinery, vehicles and transport trucks.
What this delivers:
- Charging infrastructure for electric tractors, forklifts or utility vehicles
- Charging points for staff, suppliers or visitors
- Cost savings through smart charging with own solar power
- Innovative signal to the market and partners
Charging solutions get your farm ready for the next step in sustainable agriculture.
Why combine?
Solar panels, battery storage and charging stations together form a smart energy system. The components reinforce each other - for maximum yield and minimum waste.
What this delivers:
- Lower energy costs and better efficiency
- Better control of peaks and consumption patterns
- A robust, future-proof energy grid in your yard
- Clear added value for your supply chain position and sustainability certification
An integrated approach ensures practical as well as financial gains.
