The Barrett Case Study:

The Barrett Case Study:

Real Farm, Real-World Conditions

Proven on the Field, Proven on the Farm.

Kevin Barrett knows that efficiency is the key to a successful season. By partnering with Lightforce Solar, the Barrett family farm in Taranaki is now nearly off-grid, powering the cowshed, electric fences, and the family home with clean, reliable energy.

“We don’t have to worry about the milking routine being interrupted anymore. Even if there’s a power cut, the milk stays cold and the cowshed keeps running. It’s a game-changer for us.“ – Kevin Barrett.

WHY SOLAR FOR FARMING & AGRIBUSINESS?

Financial & Operational Benefits

  • Cut costs: Reduce power bills by up to 60–80%, depending on your system size and usage profile.

     

  • Improve cashflow: Lock in lower energy costs and reinvest savings into core farming operations.

     

  • Energy security: Protect against unpredictable energy price rises and reduce reliance on the grid.

     

  • Tailored for farming: From dairy sheds and irrigation to refrigeration and packhouses, solar systems can be designed to meet your unique load profile.

     

  • Faster ROI: With high daytime energy use, farms achieve faster payback periods compared to residential systems.

     

  • Operational Resilience: Ensure critical operations, from milking sheds and vats to irrigation pumps, stay powered during grid outages.

Financial Support & Sustainability

  • Immediate Tax Benefits: under the New Zealand Government’s “Investment Boost” initiative businesses can claim a 20% immediate deduction on the cost of new solar assets in the first year, on top of standard annual depreciation.

     

  • ASB & Westpac Sustainability Loans: Many farmers are now accessing low-interest or interest-free loans (up to $50,000–$150,000 depending on the bank) specifically for solar and battery resilience systems.

     

  • ANZ & BNZ Business Growth: Discounted floating and fixed rates are available for “green assets” that improve a farm’s long-term commercial viability.

     

  • Sustainability Credentials: Meet the increasing environmental standards required by suppliers and export markets by reducing your farm’s carbon footprint.
