McLean Farms located 2 hours west of Brisbane is a leader in Australia in the farming and supply of free range chicken eggs. Like many businesses in the Agricultural Sector, energy costs are one of their major annual expenses.
In 2016 Solar Choice was consulted to help explain the potential of solar at the farm and to independently design an optimal solution that would maximise the potential financial return and deliver a high quality and robust solution.
Solar Choice provides impartial advice through all aspects of a commercial solar project including the design (with in-house engineers), selection of products and can ensure Australia’s leading solar contractors are invited to bid for the work via the Solar Choice Tender Management Platform.
McLeans Farms 280kW system boasts a bill coverage of approximately 61% providing greater assurance to the management team that their energy costs will be locked in at a low rate for the next 20 years.
