Solar Optimisation.
Irrigation and solar have notoriously been a mismatch, slowing the uptake of solar renewables in irrigation settings. AEI SmartBox technology intelligently prioritises onsite energy generation, and automatically maximises it use, resulting in a faster return on investment, and a significant reduction in carbon emissions.
Smart technology that speeds the return on
your solar investment.
Why are solar and
irrigation a mismatch?
Shifting irrigation to sunlight hours may not save you money. Solar generation is variable, and fluctuations can expose daytime irrigation loads to on-peak energy tariffs. This exposure can at times completely offset the benefits of solar and actually end up in you paying more for your energy.
By intelligently monitoring your irrigation systems and solar systems, our technology allows your fixed and variable irrigation loads to be cleverly pieced together to match your available onsite generation. This not only protects you from peak tariff exposure, but also maximes the utilisation of your onsite generation assets, significantly lowering your carbon footprint.
Solar with intelligence.
