Sungrow Partners with AGL to Promote Agrivoltaics in Australia, Setting a New Standard for Sustainable Agriculture

—

SYDNEY, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As the agricultural sector increasingly turns to clean energy to bolster sustainability and resilience, Sungrow has joined forces with the prominent energy provider AGL Energy to power the Kerarbury almond farm located in Griffith, New South Wales. This initiative integrates cutting-edge storage technology with solar energy, representing a pivotal step in reducing dependence on fossil fuels while ensuring a stable, cost-effective, and sustainable energy supply for local farms.

The project utilizes Sungrow’s advanced solutions, which include the SG4950HV-MV PCS and the PowerTitan Liquid-cooled energy storage system (ST2293UX battery units), combined with over 10,000 solar panels. It boasts a total installed capacity of 5.99 MW, generating approximately 14,000 MWh of clean electricity annually. This transition is projected to reduce CO₂ emissions by 7,500 metric tons each year, significantly lowering the agricultural sector’s reliance on traditional, non-renewable energy sources.

Agriculture plays a crucial role in Australia’s economy, yet rising energy costs and environmental concerns present growing challenges. By employing Sungrow’s state-of-the-art Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) technology, this project achieves an estimated 83% renewable energy penetration rate, allowing farm operators to reduce operational costs, stabilize energy supply, and enhance profitability. This initiative exemplifies the transformative potential of agrivoltaics in modern farming, promising long-term economic and environmental advantages.

Brendan Weinert, Head of Sustainable Business Energy Solutions at AGL Energy, stated, “At AGL, we take pride in supporting innovative projects like the Kerarbury almond farm that merge clean energy advancements with agricultural resilience. Partnering with Sungrow to implement storage solutions is a strong illustration of how the energy and farming sectors can collaborate to achieve significant emissions reductions, improve energy reliability, lower costs, and create a more sustainable future for regional communities.”

Joe Zhou, Country Director of Sungrow Australia, remarked, “This project showcases how renewable energy can revolutionize agriculture. By collaborating with AGL, we are enabling farmers to harness clean energy in a reliable and cost-effective manner, contributing to a more sustainable future.”

Initiatives like this reflect Sungrow’s commitment to advancing solar and storage technology, ensuring that diverse industries and communities have access to dependable, clean energy.
