Rural Agriculture Farm, a commercial property in Trangie, NSW, was equipped with a 25.6kW solar system and 62kWh battery energy storage system (BESS). The project was designed to help the customer achieve up to 90% independence from the grid while providing automatic blackout protection during random grid outages.
Before the installation, the agricultural farm faced high electricity costs and growing energy demand as operations continued to expand. Frequent and unpredictable grid outages also created a need for reliable backup power, while the customer wanted to achieve greater energy independence and reduce reliance on a diesel generator. A ground-mounted solar installation was required, creating additional engineering requirements to ensure the system could withstand local soil and weather conditions.
• High electricity costs and growing energy demand
• Frequent and unpredictable grid outages
• Need for reliable battery backup and blackout protection
• Goal of achieving greater energy independence
• Reduced reliance on diesel generator backup power
• Ground-mounted solar installation requirements
Up Energy delivered a fully integrated 25.6kW hybrid solar system with 62kWh of battery storage, designed to maximise energy independence, reduce grid reliance and provide reliable backup power for the agricultural farm.
• 25.6kW hybrid solar system
• 62kWh battery energy storage system
• 54 × 475W Trina Solar panels
• Fox ESS H3-Pro 25kW 3-phase hybrid inverter
The system was engineered to deliver intelligent energy management and long-term reliability, combining Fox ESS technology with expert electrical design and a custom ground-mounted installation.
• Grid-connected hybrid system configuration
• Integrated Fox ESS energy storage technology
• Soil and wind load testing for the ground mount
• Installed by Up Energy's in-house electricians and system designers
The installation generates an estimated 45,100 kWh of clean energy annually, helping Rural Agriculture Farm achieve approximately 90% energy independence and reduce electricity costs by up to 96%. The system delivers seamless automated backup power during grid outages, removing the need to rely on a diesel generator. Its environmental impact is equivalent to 815 trees planted, 13,540 litres of fuel avoided and 15,388 kg of coal not burned each year.
