High Irrigation User Solar Solutions
Solar & Battery Solutions for Farm High Irrigation Users
Ernest Energy systems align perfectly with irrigation demand, offering solar water pumping systems. When the sun shines hardest, your pumps work strongest. Save tens of thousands each season by cutting grid use, shaving peak charges, and reducing reliance on diesel with farm irrigation solar systems.
Why Ernest for your land?
Irrigation systems consume the most electricity during the very time solar panels generate the most power. That makes irrigation one of the best applications for renewable energy.
By generating electricity on-site while your pumps are operating, you can significantly reduce your reliance on the grid and lower one of your largest seasonal operating costs.
Slash irrigation costs.
Run pivots and pumps on sunshine, turning one of your biggest expenses into long-term savings.Resilient, round the clock power.
Store energy in large scale batteries to irrigate before dawn, after dark, or on cloudy days.Built to scale.
Easily expand with new pivots or pumps, keeping your farm’s growth supported by reliable, clean energy.
Maximise Efficiencies
Water pumping operations consume a considerable amount of energy. However, the sun presents us with an abundant energy source. Proper planning and the correct equipment enable us to pump water to any location, bypassing the need for traditional power infrastructure. This method taps into the sun's renewable energy, offering an eco-friendly solution to meet our water supply needs without relying on conventional energy sources.
High Irrigation User Solar FAQs
Will solar generate enough power when my irrigation pumps are running?
Irrigation and solar are a natural match. Pumping often occurs during the day when solar production is at its highest, helping reduce electricity costs.
Can battery storage help with irrigation outside daylight hours?
Yes. Excess solar energy can be stored during the day and used to power irrigation systems in the evening, overnight or during cloudy conditions.
Can a system be designed for large irrigation operations?
Absolutely. Ernest Energy designs scalable systems to suit everything from smaller irrigation setups through to large commercial pumping operations.
How much can irrigation businesses save?
Savings depend on your electricity usage and system size. During your consultation we’ll model your energy profile and estimate the potential return on investment.
Will installing solar interrupt my irrigation operation?
Our team works with you to minimise disruption and schedule installation around your operational requirements wherever possible.
