Solar panels on chicken farm
Chicken farms generally have a high electricity consumption, especially in winter and summer when temperatures are extreme and measures must be taken to air-condition chicken farms so that they are healthy and stress-free. This high consumption in winter is usually caused by the farm heaters installed or by the underfloor heating that some farms have. On the other hand, in summer, the higher consumption comes from the air conditioning systems and fans/exhaust fans that renew the air inside the house.
The installation of solar panels on poultry farms is a cost-effective solution that pays for itself in a very short time, usually between 2 and 3 years. In addition, if you can apply for any aid in your area, such as operational funds or aid for poultry farms to improve energy efficiency, the amortisation is much faster.
In this case, we have installed solar panels on a 9.95 kWp chicken farm for our client in Cartagena, a company in the agricultural sector that now reduces consumption in its facilities in a totally ecological way and without the noise of diesel generators. For this we have used the ICIDE structure e Fronius Inverter.
Thanks to this installation, our client sees his energy bill reduced month by month, and in summer he already notices a reduction in the temperature in that part of the building due to the shade generated by the solar panels.
