Charlesland Farm
- Solar rooftop offsets hog facility demand
- System Size: 200.00 kWp
- Completion: 15-Jan-2026
- Capas, Tarlac, Philippines
Project Summary
Charlesland Farm is a commercial piggery where electricity is a constant operating cost, driven by ventilation, feeding systems, water pumps, and lighting that run throughout the day. The rooftop solar system was designed to work alongside the existing grid connection, targeting daytime consumption to reduce reliance on high-cost utility power and limit exposure to future tariff increases. System size and layout were based on real operating loads rather than headline capacity, ensuring that generation closely matches how the farm actually uses energy.
This cost-focused approach reflects the same financial logic set out in The Ultimate Guide to Commercial Solar ROI in the Philippines, where return on investment is driven by consumption patterns, avoided grid costs, and realistic payback rather than oversizing or assumptions that do not hold up in day-to-day agricultural operations.
