Howard Farms is a family run agricultural operation that has been around for 150 years. They partnered with Enerpower to install 195Kw solar system. This project was designed to offset the farms substantial energy requirements while reducing it’s environmental footprint. By Utilising advanced solar technology, Howard Farms has achieved significant cost savings.
Project Specifications
- System Capacity: 195 kW
- Number of Panels: 425 solar panels
- Inverters: 2 high-efficiency inverters for optimized energy conversion
- Estimated Annual Energy Production: 148,682 kWh
Challenges
Before the installation, Howard Farms faced rising electricity costs and sought a sustainable, cost-effective energy solution to support their operations. The farm’s large-scale operations required a robust system capable of delivering consistent power without compromising productivity.
Solution Implementation
Enerpower designed and installed a state-of-the-art solar rooftop system tailored to Howard Farms’ needs. The system includes 425 solar panels strategically mounted on the rooftop to maximize sunlight exposure. Two high-performance inverters were installed to convert the solar energy efficiently, ensuring the farm could use the generated power seamlessly.
The system was designed to integrate smoothly with the existing power infrastructure, allowing Howard Farms to use solar energy during peak hours and draw from the grid only when necessary
