Smart battery with Dutch software
Can be installed in any room
No more negative energy hours
Take control of your energy usage

Farmers

Many agricultural businesses are struggling due to grid congestion, high energy costs, or a lack of flexibility in energy consumption. Boltainer offers the solution: a robust, smart battery system that gives you control over your energy consumption and makes you independent of the grid.

Generating energy is no longer a problem, but utilizing it is

More and more farmers are generating their own electricity using solar panels or wind turbines. But they often can’t feed it back into the grid due to grid congestion. And even when they can, the compensation is low. Meanwhile, costs are rising due to peak demand or expensive grid electricity in the evening.

With Boltainer’s smart battery systems, you can store excess electricity efficiently. This allows you to use the energy you’ve generated yourself exactly when you need it most: for milking robots, climate control, or irrigation. Or you can sell it on the imbalance or EPEX market, automatically managed by our Dutch software.

An increasing number of successful placements

Solar optimization at an agricultural solar farm in Overijssel

A farm with its own solar farm wanted greater control over how it utilized its solar power. Thanks to the BOLT-40 battery and real-time forecasting software, it is now maximizing returns from both solar power and energy trading.

Results

  • Solar energy stored and managed locally
  • Expected annual revenue of €15,000 to €20,000

Smart solar optimization for livestock farming in Gelderland

This pig farm was facing high feed-in costs. Thanks to the BOLT-215, solar energy is now stored and used during peak consumption periods, including for ventilation and climate control in the barns.

Results

  • Up to 30% lower grid costs
  • Always in control of your self-generated energy

These are the benefits for the agricultural sector

PEAK SHAVING

Prevent high peak loads during periods of high activity, such as when milk robots or feeders are in use. The battery provides additional power when consumption peaks.

This gives you the following:

  • Lower grid costs
  • Lower risk of overexertion

ENERGY TRADING

Store excess solar power and automatically sell it when energy prices are at their highest. Earn money from your own energy generation.

This gives you the following:

  • Higher energy yield
  • Trade automatically

NET RELIEF

When grid capacity is limited, the battery buffers local power generation and prevents the connection from becoming overloaded, without placing an additional burden on the grid.

This gives you the following:

  • No heavier connection required
  • Reliable operation

OFF-GRID MICROGRID

For barns, field pumps, or locations without a reliable power connection. The battery provides local power wherever and whenever it's needed.

This gives you the following:

  • Suitable for remote locations
  • Operate completely independently

The solution to grid congestion and rising energy costs

More and more farmers are reaching the limits of the power grid. Upgrading to a higher-capacity connection is often impossible or too expensive, even as the use of machinery, equipment, and on-site power generation continues to grow. Boltainer offers local energy storage and real-time control, allowing you to operate independently and ensuring you never pay more than necessary.

Why we do things differently at Boltainer

“We believe that energy storage isn’t a cost—it’s an opportunity. With our battery systems, you get more value out of every kWh. We combine powerful hardware with intelligent software to give you control over both your energy consumption and your energy yield.”

Orlando Founder of Boltainer
