SunFarm & SunBox
Electricity generation with photovoltaics and battery storage
Agricultural buildings are ideal for modern solar photovoltaic (PV) systems because they usually have large roof areas. Big Dutchman is a competent partner for customers interested in solar power generation. With a modular system tailored to scale, you can reduce your electricity costs sustainably nearly anywhere in the world using the power of the sun.
The icing on the cake is the complementary battery system. If you opt for battery storage as well as equipping your roof with a PV system, you can cover an even larger percentage of your energy requirements, thus further lowering your energy costs. Additionally, any excess electricity can be fed into the public grid.
SunFarm
The powerful photovoltaic system for your farm
If you want to reduce energy costs in livestock production permanently, SunFarm is the way to go. Big Dutchman will install state-of-the-art rooftop PV modules on your livestock buildings, with components from reputable manufacturers that are well-suited for use in agriculture and that guarantee a calculable output. You can use the solar power that is produced directly in your livestock buildings and then feed excess electricity into the public grid.
Main advantages
- high overall efficiency thanks to the clever combination of suitable components;
- low additional loads on the roof, usually below 15 kg/m²;
- supply of a system that perfectly fits your requirements.
SunBox
Maximises self-consumption and minimises energy costs even further
SunBox, from Big Dutchman, will significantly increase the profitability of your PV system. Instead of feeding solar power generated during the day into the public grid for a small reimbursement, with SunBox you can use it yourself when it’s cloudy or, specifically, during load peaks. You can thus cover a much larger part of your own consumption and significantly reduce your electricity costs.
SunBox is a stationary battery storage system that meets the highest quality standards. Retrofitting an existing PV system with SunBox is simple because SunBox is compatible with virtually all inverters available on the market.
Main advantages
- rack-mounted, closed cabinet and container options are available;
- quick installation due to modular design: 12 modules/cabinet = 61 kWh (cabinet size: 589 × 590 × 2240 mm);
- flexible configuration: the battery modules can be connected in parallel for a higher capacity and performance;
- intelligent management (BMS) protects against overcharging, overloading, etc.
- high-capacity, high-voltage battery system;
- short-circuit-proof and overload-proof;
- remote updates/maintenance;
- 10-year warranty or 6 000 cycles;
- grid-connected or off-grid;
- excellent value for money.
