Poultry farms in Bangladesh face high electricity costs for ventilation, lighting, and feed systems — plus frequent load-shedding that can devastate flocks. Rooftop solar with battery backup solves both problems with a 4–5 year payback.
Bangladesh's poultry industry produces over 1.5 billion broiler chickens and 15 billion eggs annually. Modern commercial poultry farms depend heavily on electricity for tunnel ventilation fans, evaporative cooling pads, automated feeders, drinkers, and lighting. A single power outage of 30 minutes during peak summer heat can cause significant flock mortality. Rooftop solar with battery backup addresses both the cost and reliability challenges simultaneously.
| Farm size | Birds | Solar plant | Battery storage | Monthly saving | Payback |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small farm | 10,000 birds | 20 kWp | 20 kWh | BDT 25,200 | 4–5 years |
| Medium farm | 50,000 birds | 80 kWp | 60 kWh | BDT 1,00,800 | 4 years |
| Large farm | 200,000 birds | 300 kWp | 200 kWh | BDT 3,78,000 | 3.5 years |
Vvon recommends a hybrid solar system for poultry farms — combining grid-tied solar with battery storage. During the day, solar powers all farm loads and charges the batteries. At night or during grid outages, the batteries take over the critical ventilation and lighting loads. The Growatt SPH and Solis hybrid inverters switch in under 20 milliseconds — fast enough that fans and lights do not even flicker.
Vvon Technologies provides free solar feasibility studies for poultry farms across Bangladesh. Our engineers will assess your farm's electricity consumption, ventilation load profile, and roof area to design the optimal solar + battery system.
