Charlisons Farm
- Commercial hog farm, 24/7 energy demand
- System Size: 99.80 kWp
- Completion: 15-Feb-2026
- Capas, Tarlac, Philippines
Project Summary
Charlisons Farm runs a high-capacity hog production facility in Capas, Tarlac where the electrical load never stops. Ventilation, automated feeding lines, temperature control, water circulation, and waste management infrastructure operate continuously across the site. Peak demand sits at 84.83 kW and the consumption curve is stable, exactly the kind of baseload profile that solar offsets most efficiently.
The 99.80 kWp system was engineered against actual operating loads rather than available roof area. SMA Germany STP110-60 CORE2 inverters and Trina Solar glass-glass bifacial modules were specified for long-term durability in an agricultural environment, with string configuration and inverter allocation matched to the farm’s production load curve. Net metering was structured to allow controlled surplus export while preserving return discipline, oversizing for export was never the objective.
The installation was designed battery-ready from the outset. Cable routing, combiner layout, and structural allowances anticipate storage integration without rewiring or alteration when that decision is made. As production expands, the system scales with it.
Annual generation of 147,205 kWh delivers PHP 1.62 million in savings per year against a 2.9-year payback. Lifetime savings are projected at PHP 41.7 million.
For commercial livestock operators, industrial solar power systems designed around actual baseload demand rather than roof capacity produce returns that hold up against real operating costs.
