Client Overview: Solar Solution for a Remote 2,500 sq. ft. Farm in Jaipur

Industry: Agriculture
Location: Remote Farm in Jaipur
Energy Consumption: 1,500 kWh per month
Average Monthly Electricity Bill: ₹20,000+

This client, a remote agricultural farm in Jaipur, had been dealing with soaring electricity costs due to the high demand for energy to run farm equipment, irrigation systems, and lighting. With a monthly electricity consumption of 1,500 kWh and bills exceeding ₹20,000, the farm's operational costs were becoming unsustainable. The client was looking for an efficient, environmentally friendly solution that could provide long-term energy independence and reduce their operational costs.

The Challenge: Rising Energy Bills and Operational Constraints

For agricultural operations, energy costs are often a significant part of the overall operational expenses, especially when heavy machinery and irrigation systems are in use. The farm’s energy consumption was only increasing, and the client faced the dual challenge of both rising energy costs and the inability to rely on local electricity grids due to their remote location. The need for a sustainable energy solution was critical.

The Solution: Installation of a 15 kW Solar Panel System

Nexun Energies designed and implemented a 15 kW grid-tied solar system with 35 high-efficiency solar panels. The solar setup was designed to meet the farm's energy needs while allowing them to reduce their reliance on external grid power. The estimated monthly output of 1,800 kWh helped ensure that the farm had sufficient energy for all its operations without the hassle of rising grid electricity prices.

Key features of the solution:

• Grid-Tied Solar System: The system was connected to the local grid, which enabled the farm to store surplus energy for future use via net metering.

• Net Metering Benefits: Surplus energy generated by the farm’s solar panels was credited back to the grid, helping offset future energy costs.

• Energy Savings: The solar solution was tailored to provide energy independence, reducing the farm's dependence on grid electricity.

The Outcome: Significant Savings and Environmental Contribution

Monthly Savings:
The 15 kW solar system helped the farm save ₹12,000 per month on electricity costs, which translates to a significant reduction in operational expenses.

Annual Energy Generation:
The solar system produced 21,600 kWh annually, meeting 90% of the farm's energy needs. This allowed the farm to power all its essential equipment, including irrigation systems and machinery, with renewable solar energy.

Environmental Impact:
The client saw a reduction of 15 tons of CO2 emissions in the first year, making this transition to solar energy not only a cost-saving measure but also a move toward more sustainable agricultural practices.

Why Solar for Farms in Jaipur?

This case study exemplifies the advantages of solar energy for agricultural clients, particularly those in remote locations like this farm. By switching to solar, the farm gained energy independence, ensuring a reliable power supply without being at the mercy of rising electricity prices. The long-term cost savings, coupled with the environmental benefits, make solar an ideal solution for farmers seeking to reduce their operational costs and contribute to sustainability.
