Calayaan’s houses run hard during hot months, with fans and evaporative cooling pads protecting flock health. Before solar, summer bills surged just as ventilation needs were highest. The farm chose a grid-tied system sized to carry the daytime peak while avoiding curtailment. Long roofs were mapped for uniform irradiance, so each string performs evenly. Inverters were installed to provide power factor support, maintaining a stable local line. Now, most of the heavy work in the middle of the day is carried by the sun. Expenses are more predictable, which helps planning for feed cycles and harvest timings. The farm also benefits from net metering credits during periods of low usage. Calayaan’s story is about control. Fewer surprises on the bill, better conditions in the houses, and a practical way to keep broiler production steady for the community.
