 50kW / 86kWh SAJ CHS2 All-in-One C&I Energy Storage System, 100% Off-Grid

Project Background

Located in Turkana County, Kenya, this poultry farm operates in an area where access to reliable grid electricity can be challenging. For agricultural businesses, however, a stable and continuous power supply is essential to maintaining efficient daily operations.

Poultry farming relies on electricity for a variety of critical functions, from lighting and ventilation to water supply and other farm equipment. An unstable or unavailable grid can therefore create operational challenges, increase dependence on conventional backup power, and limit the development of modern farming operations.

To establish a reliable and independent energy supply, the farm adopted the SAJ CHS2 All-in-One C&I Energy Storage System, with a system capacity of 50kW / 86kWh.

Designed as a 100% off-grid solution, the system enables the farm to operate independently from the utility grid while providing stable power for its daily operations.

Project Benefits

Reliable Power for Off-Grid Operations

With the SAJ CHS2 at the heart of the energy system, the poultry farm has access to a stable and reliable electricity supply even without grid connection.

The integrated energy storage solution helps ensure that essential farm equipment can continue operating throughout the day, supporting business continuity in an environment where reliable electricity would otherwise be difficult to secure.

Integrated and Intelligent Energy Management

The CHS2 integrates a hybrid inverter, battery energy storage and intelligent energy management capabilities into an all-in-one C&I solution.

By coordinating energy generation, storage and consumption, the system enables the farm to make better use of available renewable energy while maintaining a stable supply to its loads.

Its integrated design also simplifies system deployment and operation, making it particularly suitable for commercial and agricultural applications in remote and off-grid locations.

Greater Energy Independence

Operating on a 100% off-grid system allows the poultry farm to reduce its dependence on external power infrastructure and conventional backup energy sources.

For businesses located in remote areas, this greater level of energy independence can help overcome one of the key infrastructure constraints to agricultural development and create a more resilient foundation for long-term operations.

Sustainable Agriculture Practice

Reliable energy access is becoming increasingly important to the modernization and sustainable development of agriculture across Africa.

By combining renewable energy with battery storage, farms in remote areas can gain access to reliable electricity without waiting for conventional grid infrastructure to reach them. Energy storage also enables renewable electricity to be used when it is needed, helping agricultural operations make more effective use of clean energy resources.

For this poultry farm in Turkana County, the 50kW / 86kWh SAJ CHS2 system demonstrates how distributed renewable energy and energy storage can support productive agricultural activities in off-grid environments.

Beyond poultry farming, similar solutions can support irrigation, cold storage, agricultural processing, livestock farming and other energy-intensive agricultural applications.

Through projects like this, SAJ continues to bring reliable, intelligent and sustainable energy solutions to farms, businesses and communities across Africa — helping turn clean energy into productive power.
