Finnerty Farms

Finnerty Farms: Goat and Dairy farms, Waikato

Interest from farmers regarding solar on farms has exploded over the last few months, so we were delighted to be approached by Ang and Dean Finnerty from the Waikato region to provide a solution for solar across both their farms.

The Finnertys were keen to see a large reduction in their on-site power consumption, as they felt exposed to any power pricing increases. The pressure of rising power prices has been a key concern for farmers, especially goat farmers, so they were keen to see the impact solar could have on their bottom line. Our sales manager, Dan, conducted a site study to determine the optimal size of system that would best suit Ang and Dean’s objectives. Utilising their known power utilisation data, ZEN demonstrated strong solar ROI, helping cut costs in their daily operations considerably. 

Two of the Finnerty farm sites are now powered by ZEN Energy, demonstrating the Finnerty's commitment to sustainable business, exceptional bottom-line outcomes, and a more abundant energy future.

"I was approached by a few different solar companies but I'm delighted we went with ZEN. They conducted a site study, and showcased a level of support and professionalism that was superior to the others. From a top quality sales representative in Dan, to a smooth install and excellent after care, we are extremely pleased with our ZEN solar system."
