Power outages pose a serious threat to poultry farms, especially during the hot summer months or when caring for younger chicks. Without proper ventilation, chicken can quickly suffer from stress, oxygen deprivation and even suffocation. A sudden loss of power at night can shock the flock, leading to catastrophic consequences. That’s why Baramakama Poultry farm turned to one o South Africa’s solar energy financing companies to install a reliable hybrid solar system. Through solar finance, they were able to secure a fully funded energy solution that keeps operations running smoothly, even during grid failures. The hybrid solar system ensures consistent power for ventilation, lighting and other critical functions, protecting the welfare of the chickens and the productivity of the farm.
