Diesel generators are essential to running WA farms. They are also a massive burden.

Unpredictable pricing. Constant maintenance. Organising servicing, fuel logistics and storage.

March showed how critical and how risky that dependence is. Without diesel, farms stop. And when farming stops, Australia stops.

On many remote properties, generators run for long periods even when electricity demand is low. That means burning fuel, racking up engine hours and adding to maintenance costs.

There had to be a better way. Too often, solar solutions for farms have been over-engineered, or sold on desktop modelling rather than real-world results.

A Smarter Way

SunFlex Solar Systems has delivered. Our system at one of the largest farms in WA keeps continuous power running to the bore pumps that feed their centre pivot irrigation.

During the diesel shortage earlier this year, this saved thousands of unexpected cost increases or the risk of having to turn off the irrigation.

Our All-In-One (AIO) Power Systems combine solar generation, battery storage and intelligent power management in a compact, integrated unit designed for remote locations. Each system can replace a diesel generator of up to 40kW, and for most properties it pays for itself in under three years.

The systems work alongside your existing diesel generator, automatically managing the available power sources to deliver electricity efficiently and reliably.

They are plug and play, completely mobile, quick to deploy and need minimal site preparation. Most properties can be running on solar in under a week.

Built for the realities of remote Australia

Homesteads, staff accommodation, workshops, water pumps, refrigeration. Wherever you need power on your property, SunFlex has a solution.

It’s not just about reducing diesel. It’s about consistent power when you need it.

Most farmers start the conversation wanting to cut operating costs. But reliable power, no more outages, and the time saved on maintenance and refuelling often turn out to be worth even more.

Whether it’s your bore pump, your house, a home for family, accommodation for workers or Airbnb chalets, SunFlex gives you the freedom to put power where you need it.

Meet SunFlex at the PGA Annual Convention

SunFlex Solar Systems is proud to be a Sponsor of the Pastoralists and Graziers Association of Western Australia’s 2026 Annual Convention at Crown Perth on Saturday 31 October.

Jeff Barnes and Shane Meotti will be speaking during the convention and will be available throughout the day to discuss how SunFlex technology can help reduce the cost of power on remote properties.

SunFlex will also be showcasing its off-grid power technology, including the first public unveiling of an exciting new addition to its All-In-One product range.

We look forward to meeting PGA members and discussing practical ways to make remote power more affordable and reliable.
