‍The Challenge:

A rotary dairy farm in Colac faced high energy consumption, particularly due to its substantial hot water usage. Monthly energy costs were approximately $3,000, and the farm struggled to optimize energy usage, especially during the winter months, when energy demand peaked.

‍

The Solution:

PHNXX deployed a containerized renewable energy system with solar panels and battery storage to reduce the farm's dependence on grid power. The system was designed to supply power to two hot water tanks and optimize energy usage during peak demand periods. The deployment was completed in just 5 hours, minimizing disruption to farm operations.

‍

The Results:

• 25% Reduction in Energy Bills: Despite winter conditions, the system reduced energy bills by 25%, saving around $750 per month.
• 10% Energy Production Boost: The system outperformed energy production predictions by 10%, even during the shorter days of winter.
• Rapid Deployment: The system was deployed in just 5 hours with minimal equipment and no ground preparation, showcasing its efficiency and ease of installation.
