The electricity supply in my area is unstable and there is no power. How should I start the chicken farming project in Nigeria?
When the power is cut off, you may encounter these problems:
1.Uncontrolled temperature, threatening the survival of chicks?
If the brooding equipment stops functioning, with sudden drops or rises in temperature, the mortality rate of the chicks will increase significantly.
2.Ventilation system fails, making the air stuffy?
The fans are unable to supply freshair to the chicken coop, and the gases inside the coop cannot be expelled. The accumulation of harmful gases will affect the health of the chicken flock and may trigger respiratory diseases.
3.Interruption of water supply, causing dehydration in the chickens?
The water pump stops working, and the thirsty chickens are affected in their growth and egg production.
4.Failure of lighting system, affecting the activity and feeding of the chickens?
The dark environment makes the chickens restless, reducing their feed intake, and easily triggering stress responses.
Damage to key equipment, resulting in high maintenance costs? Frequent power fluctuations may cause the automated equipment to suffer “heart attacks”.
5.Production halts, economic losses accumulate?
Egg production drops, growth slows down, affecting managers’ investment.
Retech’s solar photovoltaic and generator solutions provide stable power for your aquaculture industry!
The advantages of the RETECH solar photovoltaic system:
Environmentally friendly power usage, reducing carbon emissions, minimizing pollution, providing you with a more stable and economical power source.
✅ Lower operating costs: Reduce reliance on traditional power grids, significantly cut electricity expenses.
✅ Green and environmentally friendly: Help your farm achieve sustainable development, enhance brand image.
✅ All-weather protection: Combined with energy storage equipment, it can provide reliable power even at night.
How does the solar photovoltaic system work in a chicken farm?
Retech will design an off-grid or grid-connected solution based on your local electricity situation. According to your electricity consumption, solar panels will be installed on the roof of the chicken coop to generate electricity. The excess electricity can be stored in an energy storage system and used for farm electricity during the night.
Photovoltaic off-grid power generation system
Off-grid power generation is an independent power supply mode that does not rely on the public power grid. It generates electricity through renewable energy sources such as solar energy. The system mainly consists of photovoltaic modules, off-grid inverters, batteries, and loads. Modular design can incorporate energy storage integrated equipment. Its working mode is to convert light into electricity for power supply or charging when there is light.
Applicable scenarios: Unable to obtain electricity from the public power grid.
Photovoltaic On/Off grid power generation system（Hybrid Solar System）
Applicable scenarios: Inconsistent public power grid supply or high public electricity costs.
It meets the large-scale electricity demands of the chicken farm for production, lighting, temperature control, etc., and can effectively lower the internal temperature of the chicken coop, reduce the heat stress of the chicken flock, and improve the breeding environment.
Flexible installation forms:
✅ Roof installation: Choose to install solar panels on the roof of the chicken coop to fully utilize the space, without occupying valuable land resources.
✅ Ground or pergola installation: It can also be installed on idle land around the farm or specially built pergolas to further improve land utilization efficiency.
✅ Combined with energy storage: Combined with an energy storage system, it can store excess solar power during the day for use at night or on cloudy days, further improving energy self-sufficiency rate and stability.

Chicken farms are energy-consuming entities, requiring a large amount of electricity to power equipment such as lighting, ventilation, heating, water supply, feed mixing, and incubation. Solar photovoltaic systems can provide free and clean electricity, significantly reducing or eliminating farmers’ reliance on traditional power grids, thereby lowering monthly electricity bills.
