Kawili-wili Hog farm - Phase II

Project Summary

Kawili-Wili Hog Farm has doubled its solar installation following the outstanding financial performance of its original 100 kWp system.

The farm’s continued expansion has brought a substantial increase in electricity consumption. Unlike poultry operations, where demand often varies between growing cycles, commercial hog farms typically maintain relatively consistent electrical loads from ventilation, environmental controls, water pumping and automated production equipment.

This makes a properly sized grid-tied solar installation particularly attractive, with a high proportion of daytime electricity generation consumed directly by the farm.

Local electricity tariffs are exceptionally expensive, making reduced grid consumption particularly valuable and contributing to the rapid investment returns achieved by the original installation.

Solaren engineered the Phase II expansion around the farm’s increased operating loads, maintaining the high equipment and installation standards established in the first phase.

The decision to double capacity demonstrates the commercial success of the original project and the owner’s continuing confidence in Solaren.
