Frequently asked questions
Agro
Often yes. In agriculture, the return mainly depends on your own consumption during the day. With EMS (and possibly battery) you increase the self-consumption of your solar power.
Yes. The panels are outside on the roof and a BESS is usually outside/in a container. We mainly pay attention to placement of inverters and electrical cabinets, cable routes and passages and choose components and arrangement that suit the environment. Where necessary we provide a separate technical zone and a maintenance and inspection plan for lasting yield.
Yes. Battery storage can buffer peaks when multiple installations run simultaneously, and thus lower your peak consumption and load on the grid connection.
This mainly depends on your peak consumption, your energy tariffs and whether you combine the battery with solar panels and EMS. In agriculture, battery storage is often interesting when you regularly have short, high peaks (e.g. milking robot, cooling tank, pumps, ventilation) or when you want to store and later use a lot of your own PV power. Powerland calculates the payback period based on your measurement data and a savings simulation (peak shaving + higher self-consumption), so you know in advance what it yields in your situation.
An EMS measures and controls consumption, PV production and battery so that critical processes get priority and peaks are smoothed out. You also receive monitoring and notifications of deviations.
This depends on your current connection and your plans. Often you can first optimize with EMS and battery. If grid reinforcement is needed, Powerland guides the process based on a power analysis.
Yes. The best order depends on your consumption profile, roof possibilities and peaks. Powerland makes a site analysis and works expandably, so you don't incur double costs later.
Yes. Powerland realizes energy solutions for agro and agriculture: solar panels on barns and sheds, battery storage for peak consumption and EMS control for cooling, ventilation and other heavy consumers. Click through to this case.
Yes. With load balancing (and possibly EMS) you charge safely within the available capacity, possibly with solar surplus.
