Slash Eskom Ruraflex and Landrate seasonal electricity bills with high-capacity daytime solar PV engineered for packhouses, cold chains, and irrigation pumping.
Farming in the Lowveld and surrounding agricultural regions involves heavy daytime power consumption during critical harvest and irrigation windows.
Citrus, macadamia, banana, and sugar cane operations require continuous power for high-voltage irrigation pumps, optical sorters, packhouse conveyors, and cold room chillers. Under Eskom Ruraflex and Landrate schedules, daytime consumption during high-demand months creates excessive electricity bills.
CleanEnergy designs grid-tied solar PV systems that generate peak energy precisely when your packhouse and pumps are running at maximum capacity.
Real-world operational results from leading Lowveld farming enterprises.
277.76 kWp Grid-Tied Solar
Challenge: High daytime seasonal power demand during citrus harvesting and sorting under Eskom Ruraflex tariffs.
Solution: Custom engineered rooftop solar PV array powering optical grading machinery, washing lines, and cold storage units directly during sunlight hours.
300 kWp Solar / 800 kWh Storage
Challenge: Continuous macadamia nut drying, de-husking, and processing requirements requiring power stability.
Solution: High-capacity commercial solar array integrated with an 800 kWh battery storage system to buffer daytime peak loads and maintain uninterrupted processing.
