The Nikep family dairy farm says goodbye diesel – hello solar, as they install solar and batteries to give a carbon friendly power supply.
How do you make a difference and a profit in Australia’s dairy industry? The answer is shining in your face. John and Rochelle Pekin have made the move from relying on a fragile grid and a smelly backup diesel generator to solar + batteries. Goodbye, diesel. Hello, solar and batteries.
, pioneers in the design and manufacturing of Australian lithium battery technology, will power their 450-hectare property in Simpson, Victoria, with a 520 kWh Renaissance superRack™ battery refilled daily by a 250 kW rooftop solar system.
The owners, fourth-generation dairy farmers John and Rochelle Pekin, said: “Dairy farming is highly energy-intensive and relying on grid electricity meant we were at the mercy of rising electricity costs that would impact our profitability. Having batteries also provides us with energy security, knowing that we can continue to operate in the event of a grid outage. In addition, the batteries can keep our cows being milked twice daily.
Brian Craighead, Founder of Energy Renaissance, said, “We are delighted that Nikep Dairy Farm has chosen to install our Australian superRack™ batteries. Working with CSIRO, we spent years perfecting our batteries for challenging environments like this, and it’s fantastic to see all that effort translate into lower costs, lower emissions and a more sustainable operation.”
