500kW Solar Diesel Hybrid Irrigation System
Located 25 minutes from Narromine sits Australia’s biggest solar diesel hybrid pumping system. The property owned and operated by fourth generation farmer Jon Elder, is used for farming cotton and wheat.
Due to an increase in demand for fuel, and the reliability of the sun, Jon decided it was time for a change and to take advantage of the resources he had available to pump the bore water needed to maintain his crops.
“The driving factors behind us installing this diesel solar hybrid system is the cost of diesel. We spend over $300,000 each year in running our irrigation bores and we think with this development we’re going to halve those costs” explains Jon.
