Sustainable Agriculture & Agra
From milking farms to orchards – farms often pay more for electricity than necessary. On this page, we show you where the biggest cost traps are, which battery storage system is right for your farm and how other farms are already making significant savings with self-consumption optimization, peak load capping and dynamic tariffs.
Advantages for Agriculture
- Reduction of operating costs
- Improved energy efficiency
- Increase self-sufficiency
- Feeding into the power grid
The three biggest electricity cost traps in agriculture
Milking & stable operation
Milking robots, cooling and ventilation run simultaneously – every day, according to plan. These short, unavoidable load peaks drive up your electricity bill, even though the operation only takes minutes.
PV system without full control
Many agricultural and fruit farms already generate their own electricity. However, falling feed-in tariffs and rising grid prices make it clear that those who do not control their own electricity are giving away money.
Buy electricity when it is most expensive
Exchange electricity prices fluctuate hourly – they are highest in the morning and evening, exactly when the farm needs it most. Without storage, you have no choice.
The ideal battery storage system for agriculture
Gewerbespeicher
Die Voltfang Gewerbespeicher bieten maximale Leistung und Flexibilität für Innen- und Außenbereiche. Ob für kleine Unternehmen oder industrielle Anwendungen, sie erhöhen den Eigenverbrauch, verstärken Ihre Ladeinfrastruktur und reduzieren teure Lastspitzen.

125 kW
Typical applications
These use cases are used particularly frequently on farms and agricultural businesses – individually or in combination.
Real results from practice
Cooling systems powered by their own electricity. Maximum self-sufficiency during the harvest season.
