Welcome to Farmlands FLEX.
At its core, Farmlands FLEX integrates existing and new solar systems (36kW and bigger), battery storage, load management, and intelligent controls into modular microgrid systems.
This platform enables users to generate, store, and manage their own energy on-site—using it how and when it best suits their operations and to meet the ever-growing needs of the electricity market.
The FLEX Journey
We like to keep it simple, so here is our two-step process...
Step One: Do you have solar and/or batteries?
No: Farmlands FLEX
No solar or batteries yet? – Your energy bills are rising faster than your main source of income. Electricity is becoming an increasingly significant cost. Despite investing in more efficient systems and smarter farming, your bill keeps climbing.
Farmlands FLEX puts the power in your hands, We help give the ability to generate your own electricity, store it (with onsite solar and batteries), manage energy onsite, and sell your excess electricity how and when it best works for you (using FLEX software).
