Agricultural Solar

Spring installs are won well before panels arrive on site. If commercial solar is on your agenda, now is the time to lock in design work, engineering, consenting and material planning for the spring build window. For agribusiness, industrial and commercial sites, early planning helps keep projects moving when installer schedules tighten. It also gives more time to review interval consumption data, confirm load matching, check roof or ground-mount readiness, and work through d

Back in 2020, Camden Group, a large scale corporate dairying operation, engaged us to implement a solar array and energy storage system for the new dairy shed at their flagship site. The proof was in the pudding, as in the years since, they have installed solar on another 3 farms, all yielding exceptional results. Project Highlights to date: $150k+ combined energy savings 400MWh+ total energy delivered Over 30T CO2e offset annually "We were eager to future-proof our farms an

Farm owners Dave & Tanya selected Platinum Energy to design and deliver this ground mounted solar system for their dairy shed. They liked the simplicity of the whole process, and the ability to factor in the on-charge of energy to their sharemilker, so that both parties made some upside on the asset. Also, they implemented a white ground cover under the array to optimise yield. Project Highlights: 40% energy from solar, 75% self- consumption <5 Year payback >20% ROI ~$20k an

Mayfield farmer Jared Clarke worked with us to implement solar into his dairying operations. A challenging site, we went back and forth on designs taking into account Jared's vision, to maximise the use of marginal land between the tanker loop and effluent pond - with built-in infrastructure from the outset to allow for seamless future expansion. Project Highlights: Over 50% annual energy from solar <5 Year payback >20% ROI Over 16T CO2e offset annually "We had high expectat
