SolaX ESS-Aelio Energy Storage Solution in Poland

Project Background

Located in Maciejew, Poland, this modern dairy farm relies on advanced agricultural equipment, including automated milking robots and milk cooling systems, to maintain efficient daily operations.

With electricity consumption running around the clock, reliable power supply and effective energy management are essential to the farm's productivity.

As energy costs became an increasing concern, the farm owner sought a solution that could maximize the use of solar energy, reduce electricity expenses, and improve energy independence.

To achieve these goals, the farm integrated a 40 kWp rooftop solar PV installation with the SolaX ESS-AELIO P39B100 energy storage system, creating a more flexible and reliable energy solution for its daily operations.

Project Challenge: Reliable Power for 24/7 Dairy Operations

Modern dairy farming depends on continuous electricity to operate essential equipment. At Maciejew Dairy Farm, automated milking robots and milk cooling tanks are particularly energy-intensive, making both power reliability and energy efficiency critical.

The farm faced several key challenges:

• Continuous Energy Demand: Milking robots and cooling systems require electricity throughout the day and night.

• Sensitive Equipment: Milking equipment is highly sensitive to power interruptions, making fast backup power switching essential.

• Rising Electricity Costs: The farm needed to make better use of its solar generation to reduce dependence on purchased electricity.

• Grid Connection Limitations: Existing grid connection constraints required a more flexible energy solution.

• Installation Efficiency: The owner preferred a compact system that could be installed quickly without complicated wiring.

The farm needed an integrated solar and storage solution that could address these challenges while simplifying daily energy management.

The SolaX Solution: ESS-ESS-Aelio P39B100 C&I Energy Storage System

Working with local installer Partner PV, Maciejew Dairy Farm selected the SolaX ESS-Aelio P39B100, combining a 39 kW hybrid inverter with 100 kWh of battery storage capacity.

The system is integrated with 80 rooftop solar panels, providing a total PV capacity of 40 kWp.

During the day, the farm utilizes electricity generated by its solar installation, while surplus energy can be stored for use in the evening or when solar generation is insufficient.

The ESS-Aelio system also offers fast backup power switching, helping protect sensitive milking equipment from power interruptions and supporting greater operational reliability.

Its compact, cabinet-based design simplifies installation and reduces complex wiring requirements, making it well suited to agricultural and other commercial applications.

With automated energy management, the system enables the farm to optimize solar energy consumption with minimal manual intervention.

Customer Feedback

For the farm owner, Dawid Olejniczak, the primary motivation for investing in energy storage was to lower electricity bills while increasing energy independence.

As the farm operates around the clock, maximizing the value of its existing solar installation was particularly important.

The owner also highlighted the convenience of the system's automated operation:

"I like that the energy storage system with the inverter works just like the milking robots. Everything runs automatically."

Reflecting on the investment, he expressed satisfaction with the value delivered by the SolaX solar and energy storage solution.

Powering a More Efficient Future for Agriculture

The Maciejew Dairy Farm project demonstrates how integrated solar and battery energy storage solutions can help modern agricultural businesses address rising energy costs and demanding operational requirements.

By combining 40 kWp of solar PV with the SolaX ESS-Aelio P39B100 energy storage system, the farm benefits from improved solar energy utilization, enhanced backup power capabilities, and smarter energy management.

From dairy farms to other energy-intensive commercial applications, SolaX continues to provide flexible energy storage solutions that support reliable operations and a more sustainable energy future.
