Solar PV for Grain Stores & Grain Drying
Grain stores have seasonal load profiles dominated by August-October drying. Solar matched to grain-drying peaks delivers excellent ROI — here is how KMM designs for grain operations.
Grain stores have an unusual seasonal load: low through winter and spring, then a sharp 6-10 week peak around harvest as grain dryers run continuously. Solar PV oversized against the baseline winter load can cover the harvest peak through direct generation, with batteries time-shifting the rest. KMM has designed grain-store installs in Lincolnshire mixed-arable operations with payback inside 6 years.
