Agricultural businesses are increasingly facing the challenge of ensuring a secure, cost-effective energy supply available around the clock. Cold storage facilities, ventilation and feeding systems, and processing plants all require electricity, often when the sun isn’t shining. By providing smart solutions, Fronius is helping farms and rural enterprises to make their energy supply sustainable, efficient, and reliable.
Reference projects from Upper Austria demonstrate how this works in practice. By supplementing its photovoltaic system with a battery storage unit, a farm can significantly increase self-consumption rate. During the summer months, the farm’s entire energy demand—from the early morning to the late evening—can be covered by the electricity it generates. The result is a noticeable reduction in energy costs, greater self-sufficiency, and an electricity supply that flexibly adapts to actual demand.
Modern agricultural energy concepts
A key factor in the success of modern PV systems is the combination of high-performance hardware and intelligent system technology. With the Fronius Verto Plus, agricultural businesses can turn to an inverter that was specifically designed for demanding commercial applications. High power density, a flexible system design, and seamless integration of battery storage solutions make it the ideal foundation for modern agricultural energy concepts.
Clear economic benefits
The question of energy storage is particularly important. Scalable solutions ensure that critical loads continue to be reliably supplied even during a power outage. This helps prevent production downtimes, quality issues with stored goods, or stoppages in automated processes—a clear economic advantage for businesses of all sizes. “The new addition to the Reserva family, the Fronius Reserva Pro, is particularly special. It is highly efficient, comes with proven Fronius quality, and both the cells and modules are made in Europe,” explains Harald Scherleitner, CSO of Fronius International, proudly.
Sustainable agriculture
With its comprehensive portfolio of inverters, storage systems, backup options, and energy management solutions, Fronius offers proven solutions all from a single source. In this way, Fronius is making a tangible contribution to greater supply security, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability in the agricultural sector.
