Kabalikat Poultry Farm
- Community Poultry Supply Solar Facility
- System Size: 75.90 kWp
- Completion: 15-Jun-2024
- Sta Ignacia, Tarlac, Philippines
Project Summary
Kabalikat is deeply tied to the local food chain, supplying chicken to nearby markets and small retailers. Stable barn conditions are non-negotiable. The farm installed a grid-tied solar system sized to cover the working day, when fans, pumps, and pad systems run the most. Roofs were long and uneven, so the plan utilized multiple MPPT inputs to ensure each section performed optimally. Net metering captures value when demand drops, such as cleaning days between flocks. What changed after solar is tangible. Energy costs have decreased, allowing funds to be allocated to biosecurity, equipment maintenance, and staff requirements. Kabalikat’s team can focus on daily operations, knowing that the sun carries much of the daytime load. It is a simple, practical step that strengthens both the farm and the community it serves.
