THE CHALLENGE

​

The client  required the design of a reliable, off-grid solar renewable energy solution to power a five hectare commercial avocado farming operation. A solution was needed to power all of the farms operations including hydraulic pumps used for irrigation crucial during WA's hot, dry summer months.

​

The farm's regional location did not have grid connection making the high cost of upgrading the network a further driver to seek a 100% renewable energy solution.

​

​

OUR SOLUTION

Unlimited Energy Australia designed a self-sufficient energy hub consisting of: 53kW PV installation, 160kWh Aquion Energy saltwater battery system integrated with 48kWh Tesvolt Lithium-ion battery system.

This innovative and unique combination of battery technologies enable the Tesvolt batteries to manage periods of peak load while the Aquion salt water batteries provide a constant base load supply of energy.

​

The farm is completely self sufficient running on 100% renewable energy. The energy generated from the 300 days of sunshine per year have negated the reliance on diesel generators.
