The Story
HIK Network collaborated with greenhouse farmers to implement renewable energy solutions tailored to their needs. By powering essential systems with solar energy, the farmers experienced consistent productivity and reduced energy costs. design, and the effective utilization of synergies across its expanded footprint.
As a result, the systems have supported greenhouse lighting, irrigation, and cooling.
What did Hik Network do?
The project aimed to ensure consistent productivity, reduce energy expenses, and improve overall efficiency while contributing to environmental sustainability.
The installation of high-capacity solar panels on greenhouse rooftops ensures reliable energy for cooling, irrigation, and lighting systems, while integrating energy-efficient cooling systems maintains optimal plant growth conditions.
The workshop focused on training farmers on efficient energy usage and greenhouse management, while also providing guidelines for maintaining solar systems for longevity and minimal downtime.
The installation of smart energy meters enabled real-time monitoring of energy consumption, and regular analysis of usage data helped identify optimization opportunities and cost savings.
