Storage for agriculture
Agricultural businesses often have large roof areas and high PV potential — and at the same time critical loads such as refrigeration, milking systems, ventilation, pumps, feeding systems and controls.
Agricultural businesses often have large roof areas and high PV potential — and at the same time critical loads such as refrigeration, milking systems, ventilation, pumps, feeding systems and controls.
The starting problem
PV generation and consumption do not always line up in time. In addition, milking systems, refrigeration, drying, pumps or e-mobility can create high load peaks. Grid outages can be critical.
How a storage system can help
A storage system can make PV power usable on the farm, absorb load peaks, relieve the grid connection and transformer, support electric farm loaders and secure critical loads within a backup power concept.
Key planning factors
- load profile across farm operations and residential share
- critical loads and inrush currents
- PV areas and expansions
- grid connection and transformer
- backup power duration
- e-mobility and machinery
- installation site and fire protection

The OmniCube A215 as the featured product for PV, load peaks and backup power; the Elecnova E101WX for smaller farms; the Elecnova E261LP for higher consumption; PotisMobile for temporary applications.
When caution is advised
Caution is advised when the backup circuits are not clearly defined: milking systems, refrigeration and pumps have high inrush currents that can break the backup concept. With little PV surplus, the storage system often does not pay either.
