200kW Dairy Farm Solar Project — Regional Victoria
Maxwell Energy delivered a 200kW grid-connected solar system for a working dairy farm in regional Victoria. The project distributes 350 LONGi 580W modules across two farm buildings and uses four Sungrow 50kW commercial inverters to align generation with substantial daytime operating loads.
Commercial solar designed around farm operations.
The system uses large roof areas across two buildings to provide on-site generation during operating hours, supporting lower grid dependence and a dependable long-term energy strategy for the farm.
A high daytime load across an active farm site.
Dairy operations require substantial electricity during the day. The site also offered extensive roof area across separate buildings, creating an opportunity to match a large commercial array to the farm’s operating profile.
Turn available roof area into productive infrastructure.
The project focused on reducing daytime operating costs, aligning generation with farm load and establishing a dependable system suited to long-term agricultural use.
Coordinate generation across two working buildings.
The array and inverter architecture had to accommodate two separate roof areas while maintaining orderly cable routing, suitable equipment access and a clear commercial installation standard.
Assess Site Load and Roof Capacity
Review daytime operating demand and the practical array area available on both buildings.
Distribute the PV Array
Allocate 350 LONGi 580W modules across the two roof structures.
Configure Commercial Inverters
Use four Sungrow 50kW inverters to support the 200kW grid-connected system.
Coordinate Cabling and Equipment
Plan inverter locations, cable containment and inspection access for a maintainable installation.
A distributed 200kW platform for daytime energy use.
The completed system combines 350 LONGi 580W modules with four Sungrow 50kW commercial inverters. Arrays are distributed across two farm buildings, creating a grid-connected generation platform designed to serve the farm’s daytime loads and reduce reliance on imported electricity.
A practical commercial system built for agricultural operations.
The system turns two large farm roofs into a coordinated energy asset.
By aligning a 200kW array with the dairy farm’s daytime electricity requirements, Maxwell Energy created a practical commercial solar solution. The module distribution, inverter configuration and cable management were developed as one coordinated platform for dependable long-term operation.
