200kW Dairy Farm Solar Project — Regional Victoria

A 200kW grid-connected solar system designed for a regional Victorian dairy farm, supporting lower daytime operating costs and a dependable long-term energy strategy.

Project Overview

This commercial solar project was developed for a working dairy farm with substantial daytime electricity demand across two operational buildings. Maxwell Energy delivered an engineered solution focused on matching onsite generation to the property’s operating profile while maintaining reliable, practical project delivery.

Client Objectives

Reduce daytime electricity costs across farm operations.

Make productive use of available roof space across two buildings.

Implement a scalable commercial solar solution with dependable equipment and structured project coordination.

System Design

350 × LONGi 580W solar modules

4 × Sungrow 50kW commercial inverters

Approx. 200kW grid-connected solar system

PV system distributed across two dairy-farm buildings

Engineering & Delivery

The project required coordinated assessment of the property layout, equipment selection, system design and installation sequencing across two separate buildings. The system was designed as a grid-connected commercial solution using multiple Sungrow inverters to support appropriate system architecture and reliable operation.

Maxwell Energy managed the project through consultation, design coordination, product selection, delivery planning, installation and commissioning.

Why This Matters

For high-daytime-load rural businesses, solar should be approached as an operational energy project rather than a product purchase. This project demonstrates how well-planned commercial solar can support long-term energy cost management while fitting the needs of an active working site.
