Convert Your Centre Pivot to Solar – A Smarter Way to Irrigate

Centre pivots are essential to efficient farming, but their energy demands can be costly. Switching to solar-powered irrigation offers a smart, sustainable solution that reduces running costs and increases reliability—especially in areas where grid power is unstable or expensive.

Daylight-Driven Efficiency

Solar-powered pivot systems operate during daylight hours when the sun is at its peak—aligning perfectly with your crop’s watering needs. This reduces your reliance on diesel generators or grid electricity, and helps you take advantage of predictable sunlight hours for consistent irrigation.

Independence from the Grid

By running directly from solar panels, your pivot no longer depends on Eskom or backup generators. This makes your operation more resilient during load-shedding or power failures. With solar, your fields stay irrigated—even when the rest of the farm goes dark.

Lower Operating Costs

Diesel and electricity costs are rising. Converting to solar means locking in free energy for years to come. While the upfront cost of solar may seem high, the long-term savings on fuel and maintenance are significant—making it a sound financial decision for any scale of farming.
