FAQ

30 kW Agriculture Solar — FAQs

What loads does this system best support on a farm?

Daytime loads like milking systems, water pumps, refrigeration, and workshop equipment are ideal — maximising self-consumption and savings.

How long does installation take?

Typically most 30 kW installations are completed in around two weeks. Panels are installed in week one with cabling and commissioning in week two. We schedule around farm operations to minimise disruption.

What warranties are included?

Panels carry a 25-year performance warranty (87.4% output at Year 30), plus inverter warranty and Sinclair Electrical workmanship cover.

Do I get tax benefits like depreciation?

Yes — IRD depreciation typically includes a 20% first-year boost. At a 30% tax rate, that’s ≈ $2,640 tax saving in Year 1 on a $44,000 system (consult your accountant). Typical payback is ~3.5–4 years after tax.

Can I add batteries or EV charging later?

Absolutely. The system is designed for future upgrades such as battery storage and EV charging to suit your operations.
