Solar for Agricultural Efficiency

Overview

GreenHarvest Farms, a large-scale agricultural operation, was looking to reduce irrigation costs and increase sustainability across its 500+ acres of farmland. With unreliable grid access in certain zones, Solvix was brought in to deliver a solar-powered irrigation system that could function efficiently off-grid while supporting high-yield crop production.

Execution

Solvix designed a custom off-grid energy solution specifically for agricultural efficiency, including:

  • Solar Water Pump Systems – Installed high-efficiency solar-powered pumps for drip and sprinkler irrigation.
  • Energy Storage Integration – Enabled round-the-clock pumping with battery support for early morning and evening irrigation.
  • Weather-Responsive Automation – Integrated sensors to adjust pump activity based on weather and soil moisture.
  • Rooftop Solar for Storage Facilities – Equipped cold storage and equipment sheds with solar arrays for auxiliary power.
  • Training & Support – Provided system usage training for farm operators and seasonal workers.

Result

  • 50% Reduction in Irrigation Energy Costs
  • Improved Water Management Efficiency
  • 100% Renewable Energy Use in Target Zones
  • Lower Environmental Impact on Agricultural Operations
“Solvix helped us modernize our irrigation system with clean energy. Not only did we save thousands in utility costs, but we also improved our water usage and reinforced our commitment to sustainable farming. Their system runs reliably and has been easy for our team to manage.”
