Electrical Solutions for Agriculture & Agribusiness
VFD-driven irrigation pumping, dairy refrigeration switchgear, grain-handling motor control, and solar-hybrid panels for farms and agribusiness across Kenya.
Electrical Solutions for Agriculture and Agribusiness
Agricultural operations across Kenya — from horticulture under irrigation in Naivasha, to large-scale dairy in Kiambu, to commercial maize and tea processing — depend on electrical systems that survive dust, voltage variability, lightning, and operating environments far from grid stability. Panel Tech Systems designs and builds the pump control panels, VFD drive panels, dairy refrigeration switchgear, grain-handling MCCs, and solar-hybrid cabinets that keep agribusiness running.
Solutions for Common Agricultural Loads
- Irrigation pump control panels — VFD-driven for variable-demand drip systems, soft starters for sprinkler-set installations, with pressure-based and flow-paced control logic
- Borehole and submersible pump panels — IP65 outdoor cabinets with dry-run protection, lightning surge protection, and remote telemetry to the farm management dashboard
- Dairy refrigeration switchgear — milk-tank chiller MCCs with single-pump or duplex configurations, automatic alternation between coolers, BMS integration for tracking
- Grain-handling MCCs — motor control for elevators, dryers, dust extraction, and bagging machines, typically with PLC sequencing
- Greenhouse climate-control panels — exhaust fan staging, cooling-pad pump control, lighting on photoperiod schedules, integrated with humidity and CO2 sensing
- Solar-hybrid pumping — for boreholes where grid is unavailable or unreliable; hybrid VFD with PV input plus battery backup
Designed for the Agricultural Environment
- IP65 enclosures standard for outdoor pump head and field cabinets; IP66 in flood-prone yards; stainless steel for the coast
- Lightning surge protection on every outdoor cabinet — borehole sites and field installations take frequent strikes during rainy seasons
- Phase-loss and undervoltage protection — rural distribution is variable; modern pump panels protect motors from supply-quality faults
- Reduced-spec spare component kit bundled with the panel — the nearest spare supplier may be hours away
- Solar-ready architectures — panel designs that can accept PV inputs later without rewiring
Project Experience
From horticultural farms shipping flowers daily to large dairy processors and grain milling operations, our panels deliver the reliability rural and peri-urban agribusiness demands. EPRA compliance and KEBS submittals are handled in our deliverables.
