The company is constantly seeking ways to work more sustainably and better manage its energy consumption. This project focuses on optimizing the farm\u2019s own energy supply.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1045\" data-end=\"1067\">Problem statement<\/h3>\n<p>The farm has 60\u202fkWp of solar panels, but due to highly variable and difficult-to-predict energy consumption, much of the production cannot be used at the right time. As a result, valuable solar power is lost or must be fed back into the grid at low rates. The key challenge is: how can the farm store its own green energy and use it during peak demand periods, reducing dependence on the grid and maximizing the use of available solar power?<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1562\" data-end=\"1586\">Solution by EcoSourcen<\/h3>\n<p>Until recently, the farm was fully dependent on electricity from the grid. Rising energy costs, unpredictable prices, and limited self-generation made this dependence increasingly problematic. A solution was urgently needed to provide the farm with greater stability, lower costs, and a sustainable energy supply.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1612\"><strong data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1612\">EcoSourcen products<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4>Stockage technology<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW148037110 BCX0\" lang=\"NL-BE\" xml:lang=\"NL-BE\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW148037110 BCX0\">2<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW148037110 BCX0\">x\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW148037110 BCX0\">Sunwoda<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW148037110 BCX0\">\u00a0Oasis 60<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW148037110 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2022\" data-end=\"2048\"><strong data-start=\"2022\" data-end=\"2048\">Smart control<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"2050\" data-end=\"2230\">This battery is managed by the intelligent control system from Eniris.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2022\" data-end=\"2048\"><strong data-start=\"2022\" data-end=\"2048\">Integration and partner<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW225430932 BCX0\" lang=\"NL-BE\" xml:lang=\"NL-BE\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW225430932 BCX0\">The professional installation of this project was carried out by our installation partner Barisco Energy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2048\" alt=\"Van de Mierop landbouw -
