Project Overview

Project Background

An LVK 261kWh modular C&I BESS with two optional 120kW MPPT controllers integrated with 150kW rooftop solar, delivering DC-coupled off-grid power for a high-value crop breeding farm in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Customer Needs

The farm operates extensive smart greenhouse environmental control systems and fully automated precision irrigation systems. Due to its remote location at the end of the power grid, the local utility power quality is poor; frequent unexpected outages and voltage sags cause greenhouse climate control equipment to shut down repeatedly, directly threatening the growth of high-value crops.

Application Focus
