At Enfin Energy Finance, we believe that access to clean, reliable energy shouldn’t depend on location or grid stability. Our fully funded solar solutions are designed to empower South African businesses, especially those in agriculture, to operate efficiently, sustainably and independently.
Through our Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model, Enfin funds, installs and maintains solar systems, while clients simple pay for the energy they use, at a rate that’s lower than grid electricity. No upfront capital. No maintenance burden. Just reliable, cost-effective energy that works as hard as you do.
We’ve partnered with numerous poultry farmers who have chosen hybrid solar systems to safeguard their operations against load-shedding and power interruptions.
Why poultry farmers choose hybrid solar solutions
For poultry farmers, a constant flow of air is vital inside the chicken coops. Without proper ventilation ammonia levels can rise quickly, and within 15 minutes of a power outage, chickens can experience severe stress or even die.
As most poultry farms are located outside major city centres, they’re more vulnerable to power disruptions. That’s why they have turned to Enfin’s hybrid solar systems, which combine solar panels, batteries and generator integration to ensure uninterrupted power supply and total peace of mind.
Hybrid solar systems provide:
- Continuous power during outages or load-shedding
- Stable and predictable electricity costs
- Full system maintenance and performance monitoring by Enfin.
- Improved operational reliability and productivity.
With Enfin Energy Finance’s PPA model, poultry farmers can secure all these benefits without any upfront investment, paying only for the clean power they consume.
Client success stories
Bakcon Poultry
📍 52.8 kWp | 76 982.4 kWh annual generation
Bakcon Poultry is a layer farm that experienced frequent power outages and unreliable service from a previous solar provider. During discussions with Enfin, the farm was struggling through load-shedding that threatened flock health and production.
Enfin implemented a hybrid backup solution that integrates solar, batteries and generators, ensuring continuous power. We matched their municipal rate, and as electricity tariffs increased, Bakcon Poultry began saving from day one. Today, they enjoy stable power and complete confidence in their operations.
Bainsvlei Poultry
📍258 kWp | 402 480 kWh annual generation
One of our earliest poultry clients, Bainsvlei Poultry has become a strong ambassador for Enfin, referring multiple farmers to us.
Initially operating with a small grid-tied system, the farm partnered with Enfin to upgrade to a hybrid solution that now provides around 90% of their total energy consumption, operating roughly 80% off-grid.
This investment has significantly reduced costs and improved operational security. Hear their full story in their YouTube testimonial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5H4I8QwH-c&t=5s
Eat JJ Boerdery
📍 92,4 kWp | 146 269.2 kWh annual generation
Eat JJ Boerdery, a layer poultry farm supplying national retailers, came to Enfin through a word-of-mouth referral. They required a dependable energy solution to maintain consistent output despite ongoing load-shedding.
Enfin delivered a hybrid system with battery backup, providing stable electricity and significant tariff savings. Their story was featured in the Bloemfontein Courant: https://www.bloemfonteincourant.co.za/bfns-farmers-bear-the-brunt/
Sustainable power for South African agriculture
We understand that farming doesn’t stop when the power goes out. Our hybrid solar systems are more than an energy upgrade, they’re a safeguard for food production, livelihoods and long-term sustainability.
