At we look for savings for our customers from the first invoice and in addition we promote efficient self-consumption of the resources that nature offers us thanks to photovoltaic solar irrigation installation.
A installation of solar panels allows the prevention of emissions of 18 tons of CO2 per year. This gas is the cause of the famous greenhouse effect, so avoiding it has become a necessity to take care of the environment. In addition, the photovoltaic energy installation saves noise and energy consumption: it does not cause noise pollution and comes from an inexhaustible source of energy like the Sun.
From 2020, in the European Union, approximately 20% of the energy consumed must come from renewable sources. Irrigated agricultural farms will live one of the best moments thanks to photovoltaic solar irrigation.
At we collaborate with this type of company to achieve this goal and for this reason, we wanted to know the opinions our farm customers.
The advantages highlighted by our customers in photovoltaic solar irrigation
\»Previously we had to use the cheapest hours of the day and this made it difficult for us to run a smooth job\»
Rafael Ceballos, industrial director of Haciendas Bio.
\»Now all the hours are efficient, the sun is inexhaustible and so is its energy,\» he adds.
Juan Muñoz, manager of the El Gamonal farm, explains that they have reduced their expenses by almost 95%, saving between €3,000 and €4,000 per month. With this, the farm\’s electricity bill decreases and the farmer\’s profitability increases.
Another big advantage that our customers highlight is how useful it is for them to have everything computerized. \»In the event of an error, it\’s very easy for us to access its information and correct what\’s causing it,\» says Francisco Javier Sanchez, SAT president of Riegos Albatana. \»In addition, we have the cost constantly monitored and thus achieve greater efficiency in the use of water,\» he concludes.
Organic farming to continue with sustainability
Organic farming is a farming system of a agribusiness operation independent. It is based on the use of natural resources, thus eliminating all kinds of chemicals harmful to the planet. It is coherent that the companies that use this cultivation system opt for the use of this type of clean, renewable and environmentally friendly energies.
This is why the combination of organic farming and solar panels makes the land much more productive for solar irrigation. In addition, thanks to a pilot test carried out by the Fraunhofer Institute, it has been shown that the use of solar panels on agricultural land facilitates the production of crops located under ground-mounted photovoltaic panels.
This project that was perfected in Germany clearly shows that the future must be solar energy.
Currently, the irrigation system with Photovoltaic solar energy It is shown as a solution to the FAO challenge of dealing with climate change through the use of renewable energies.
