Following extensive testing, the 82kW Solar and 120kWh Redflow Battery solution at Moonacres' "Farming the Sun" site has now been fully commissioned.
"Not only are we saving money on our bills, we're generating power and exporting to the grid. This income was not envisaged in the initial specs, but has a lot of potential. In the wild weather, we sat pretty while the grid went down. I love not dragging the generator out!" -Phil Lavers, Farm Manager
