Key Topics at AgQuip 2026

Precision agriculture and digital farming

Farm productivity and operational efficiency

Water management and irrigation

Renewable energy for agriculture

Solar and battery energy storage systems

Remote monitoring and connectivity

Farm automation and smart technologies

Sustainability and emissions reduction

Australian farming businesses are increasingly investing in technologies that improve operational resilience while reducing energy costs. Reliable off-grid power has become essential for irrigation systems, agricultural infrastructure, livestock operations, water pumping, and remote assets where grid access is limited or unavailable.

How Agricultural Businesses Are Addressing These Challenges

Across the agriculture sector, producers are responding to increasing energy costs, labour shortages, climate variability, and the need for greater operational efficiency.

Reducing energy costs

Farm businesses are adopting solar and battery storage systems to reduce electricity expenses and minimise reliance on diesel generators and volatile energy prices.

Reliability in remote locations

Off-grid power systems and pumping solutions with remote monitoring help ensure critical infrastructure continues operating, even during grid outages or in isolated locations.

Increasing operational visibility

Producers are implementing connected monitoring systems that provide real-time insights into pumps, tanks, generators, weather stations, and other remote assets.

Supporting sustainability goals

Many agricultural businesses are investing in renewable energy technologies that reduce emissions, lower fuel consumption, and improve long-term operational resilience.

How We Work With Agricultural Businesses

Commodore Australia partners with farmers, agribusinesses, irrigation operators, local councils, and regional organisations to deliver practical off-grid and hybrid energy solutions for demanding agricultural environments. By combining solar, battery storage, remote monitoring, and intelligent energy management, we help agricultural businesses reduce diesel dependence, lower operating costs, and increase resilience across their operations.

We recently had an off-grid system installed at our farm by Commodore Solar and couldn’t be happier. The whole setup is incredibly neat, well thought out and finished to a really high standard. What really surprised us was the cost — compared to connecting to mains power, the value is incredible and made the decision an easy one. Everything was clearly explained, the install ran smoothly, and you can tell they genuinely take pride in their work. It’s a very clean, professional system that gives us total confidence living off-grid. Highly recommend to anyone considering solar or battery storage — especially for rural properties.

I had a 13kW off-grid system installed by Commodore Australia with Pylontech batteries and a Power Hub cabinet, and I couldn’t be happier. From my first inquiry, the team was professional, attentive, and detail-focused. The installation was smooth, completed within two weeks, and the workmanship was outstanding. The system performs excellently, and I highly recommend Commodore Australia for their top-notch service and commitment to customer satisfaction.

We’re off-grid in the Grampians and had trouble finding an electrician for a solar quote, until a friend recommended Commodore. I explained our situation, and they assembled everything in-house with a qualified electrician, then guided us through the surprisingly easy installation. The system’s been amazing; we only added an extra battery for winter. For anyone in a remote area, Commodore made solar simple with step-by-step support. Huge thanks to the team!
Noel McBride
★★★★★
Amazing service from the team at Commodore Australia. Drew from the sales team assisted me, selecting a generator with additional products to help upgrade my system to a off grid generator/solar systems. Every time I reached out to the team they assisted me to navigate my way with the right products. Even when I had issues trying to install, Drew came to my rescue and arranged one of his technicians to finalise the installation. The installer was a gun operator. A great experience with amazing results. Well done to the team at Commodore Australia.

Over the moon with our new Power Hub 8 solar setup! Drew and the team were more than helpful through the whole process from purchase and postage to installation and aftercare advice. The price for the setup is highly competitive, as well. If you're in the market for an off-grid system, I strongly recommend Commodore Australia!

Absolutely thrilled with Commodore's installation of my solar system! From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and professional. They spent time on site sizing and advising the correct position, demonstrating incredible knowledge and guiding me through every step to ensure I understood how to maximise the system's efficiency. The installation itself was completed efficiently and with meticulous attention to detail. I'm not only impressed with the quality of the product but also with the exceptional customer service provided. I highly recommend Commodore Australia to anyone considering solar or off-grid systems.

Can't rate these guys highly enough. I bought a small off-grid system from them in 2020 and, whilst I haven’t had to contact them often, when I have their tech support team are always so helpful and I end up learning more about my system each time.

Up in the Strathbogie Ranges, we have so many 'AusNet blackouts' it's ridiculous. On the evening before our electrician came to connect our new Commodore Power Hub 15XL, there were four blackouts in one evening. You begin to wonder if somebody at Ausnet is just flicking the switch for laughs! In any event, there has not been a blackout since. The preinstalled system arrived from Shepparton and it has been 'plug & play' since then. We're off grid! What a feeling! The team at Commodore: have produced a service and product of real quality. As a customer that feeling of liberation from blackouts, bills etc is really special. Thanks Commodore. Highly appreciated, highly rated!

Off-Grid Power for Farms: Smarter Ways to Power Remote Infrastructure

Reliable power is essential on any farm, but getting electricity to remote parts of a property is not always straightforward. A new machinery shed, bore, pump station or livestock facility may be kilometres from the nearest grid connection, making extensions costly and time-consuming.
