Smart Charging on the Nursery: Your Own Power, No More Refuelling
Introduction: Charging Infrastructure as a Solution
Concerns about charging infrastructure among growers are often linked to the desire to be fully self-sufficient. You do not want to depend on external energy suppliers, and certainly not invest in a complex or expensive electrical network on your premises.
The Knegt E-tractor offers a simple, flexible charging solution that integrates perfectly with your existing energy sources, especially if you already use solar panels.
Knegt Charging: Perfect for Solar Energy
The electric tractor from Knegt is the ideal partner for growers who already invest in solar energy.
1. Free Fuel: By using your own generated solar power to charge the tractor, your ‘fuel costs’ effectively drop to zero. You make optimal use of the energy you produce yourself and reduce energy fed back into the grid.
2. Flexible Charging Options: The Knegt tractor is not tied to a single type of charging station. It can be charged via:
- A standard 230V socket for easy overnight charging.
- A 3-phase charging station for faster charging during breaks or between shifts.
3. Smart Integration: By using a smart charging station, the tractor automatically charges when your solar panels produce surplus energy.
No Major Installation Work Required
Unlike installing fuel tanks or special diesel storage, the charging infrastructure for the Knegt E-tractor is relatively simple:
• You use the existing electrical supply of your shed, warehouse or greenhouse.
• No complex permits are required for fuel storage.
Conclusion: You Are Your Own Fuel Station
You are able to close your own energy cycle: generating solar energy and using it directly for your machinery. This gives you maximum control over your energy costs and complete independence.
The Knegt E-tractor turns your nursery into a future-proof, independent growing business.
