1300 138 591Solar for farms and rural properties
Pumps, sheds, cool rooms and dairies use most of their power in daylight, when solar produces. We design solar and battery systems around how your property runs, then handle the install and grid connection.
Daytime loads, big roofs, rising power costs
Most farms use power while the sun is up. Every kilowatt-hour your roof supplies is one you don’t buy.
Bore and irrigation pumps
Run your existing electric pumps on daytime solar instead of the meter.
Dairies and milking sheds
Vacuum pumps, hot water and milk cooling that start early and run hard.
Cool rooms and cold storage
Refrigeration that never switches off, carried by solar through the day.
Machinery sheds and workshops
Compressors, welders and lighting under a big, empty roof.
Poultry and piggery sheds
Fans, lighting and heating loads that track the working day.
Homesteads and remote sites
Solar and batteries for the house, or a full off-grid design where the grid is too far.

What affects the price of farm solar
Solar systems up to 100kW earn small-scale technology certificates, which reduce the upfront price. The rebate steps down on 1 January each year, and the install date decides which rate applies.
The federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount reduces the price of eligible batteries. It also steps down on 1 January 2027. We confirm what your site qualifies for at your assessment.
Size, roof or ground mounting, cable runs, three-phase supply and switchboard work all change the price. You get a firm quote after your assessment.
Talk to your accountant about how a system is treated for your business. Ask us about finance options at your assessment.
Questions farmers ask us
Can solar run my bore or irrigation pump?
Yes, if the pump is electric. A solar system supplies your existing pump during the day, which is when most pumping happens. We don’t supply stand-alone solar pump kits.
Do you do off-grid systems for remote sites?
Yes. Where the grid is too far or too costly, we design off-grid systems with solar, batteries and backup to suit the load.
Will a battery keep my cool room running in a blackout?
Only if the system is set up for backup and sized for that load. Not every battery does this automatically. We explain what your setup will cover before you buy.
How big a system does a farm need?
It depends on what runs during the day and your power bills. We work it out at your free Energy Assessment rather than guessing.
Do you install on sheds and ground mounts?
We look at the best option for your property at the assessment, including shed roofs, house roofs and other structures.
