Rivera Agro Industrial
- Hog Farm w/ Grower and Finisher Houses
- System Size: 75.21 kWp
- Completion: 22-Aug-2024
Project Summary
Rivera Agro Industrial operates a large-scale piggery where electricity is essential for pumps, ventilation, and waste management systems that run continuously. These loads are both power-hungry and critical to animal welfare, making reliability and cost control central to daily operations. Energy expenses account for a significant share of farm overhead, particularly as production volumes increase.
Before installing solar, the farm had already invested in a biogas facility that converts waste into usable energy. Solaren engineered a grid-tied solar power system designed to work alongside this existing biogas plant, with monitoring in place to ensure both generation sources operate in a complementary and stable manner. This dual-source approach reduces reliance on the grid while smoothing fluctuations in energy supply and cost.
As operational demand has grown, the system has been expanded to maintain savings and performance, demonstrating the importance of scalable design. The combined solar and biogas setup has allowed the farm to reduce electricity bills while substantially improving long-term resilience.
This project is a practical example of how businesses apply the principles described in commercial solar installation in the Philippines to cut operating costs while maintaining stable, productive operations.
