Project Brief

Dawnice has successfully deployed and commissioned an 80kW/320kWh Commercial & Industrial (C&I) Energy Storage System (ESS) in Tyrol, Austria. This project flawlessly integrates Dawnice’s high-performance lithium battery technology with the client’s newly merged and expanded solar photovoltaic arrays. Featuring a robust, high-capacity modular architecture, the system enables maximum PV self-consumption, drastically reduces operational electricity costs, and secures power reliability for the large-scale vegetable farm, earning glowing feedback from the end-user.

Agricultural operations, particularly large-scale vegetable farms, are heavily reliant on stable and continuous electricity to power greenhouse controls, irrigation systems, and climate management equipment.

For this vegetable farm in Tyrol, Austria, the owner, Ross, faced a significant challenge: while the farm had existing solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, they were decentralized and lacked the capacity to store excess solar generation for use during peak demand hours or nighttime. As farm operations expanded, the initial solar array proved too small to sustain their growing power needs. The farm needed a robust, high-capacity Commercial and Industrial (C&I) energy storage solution that could integrate with an expanded solar array to achieve true energy independence and protect against rising grid electricity costs.

Project Highlights

• Massive Storage Capacity for High-Drain Operations: With 320kWh of total storage, the Dawnice battery cabinets provide ample power reserves to keep critical farming operations running smoothly, even during extended periods of low sunlight or potential grid outages.
• Seamless PV Integration & Expansion: The Dawnice 80kW inverter demonstrated exceptional compatibility, easily integrating with the farm’s newly expanded and merged solar arrays to maximize energy harvesting and storage efficiency.
• Optimized ROI and Cost Reduction: By capturing and storing every drop of excess solar energy, the farm has drastically reduced its reliance on the traditional power grid. This peak-shaving capability significantly lowers monthly operational electricity expenses.
• Reliable and Flawless Performance: Designed for demanding commercial environments, the modular Dawnice system was successfully installed and wired on-site. Since commissioning, the entire microgrid system has been running flawlessly, proving the stability and durability of Dawnice C&I solutions in agricultural applications.
