That's
self-reliance

It is not only climate change that poses major challenges for agriculture. It is also the tightening of regulations and environmental requirements, the shortage of skilled workers, exploding commodity prices and the increasing expectations of species-appropriate and organic farming. In addition, many farms are struggling with rising energy costs and the instability of the energy supply.

More and more farmers are therefore opting for the principle of self-sufficiency when it comes to energy and for the combination of regenerative generation systems with a powerful battery. Thanks to VoltStorage batteries based on environmentally friendly, safe and long-lasting redox flow technology, renewable energy can be used around the clock. For more independence in terms of energy supply.

The photovoltaic system was planned, installed and does what it is supposed to do: It reliably and constantly converts cost-effective and climate-friendly solar energy into electricity for milking robots, mowing machines, cooling systems and other equipment needed for daily operations.

Unfortunately, only when the sun is shining. The solution is simple: with an energy storage system, farmers can store self-generated electricity and call it up when it is actually needed. Farms in particular often need electricity during the day when the sun is not shining, such as in the early morning hours when milking machines are in operation. Without a battery, they cannot draw on self-generated energy at these times and benefit from low-cost self-consumption. Batteries play an important role in optimising self-consumption, as they store surplus energy and make it usable during periods of low energy production. There is no need to resort to expensive energy from the grid during peak demand periods. Batteries offer a charge and discharge time of 5 - 10 hours and can also store and provide large amounts of energy, depending on the configuration. This guarantees a constant and reliable energy supply around the clock, 7 days a week.
