We had the opportunity to connect with a wide range of people across the rural sector – from farmers and growers to agribusiness owners and operators. It was great to see so much interest in how solar, battery storage, and smart energy solutions can play a meaningful role in reducing costs, improving efficiency, and building more resilient, future ready operations.
Farmlands FLEX Launch
Farmlands and Blackcurrent unveiled Farmlands FLEX – a smart energy platform that connects solar, batteries, and the grid. It’s a big step toward energy independence for rural businesses, using automation to manage usage and optimise savings.
ASB’s Interest Free Finance
ASB has made it easier than ever to go solar, offering 5 years interest free finance (up to $150,000) for solar and battery systems. This is a major boost for those looking to reduce energy costs and improve sustainability. For more information, read our industry news article here.
The Government’s Investment Boost
The 2025 Budget introduced a new tax incentive allowing farmers, growers, and agribusinesses to deduct 20% of the cost of new equipment – including solar – from their taxable income. It’s a powerful motivator to invest in future focused infrastructure.
Conversations That Matter
More than anything, it was the conversations that made Fieldays® so memorable for us. From early morning chats over coffee to in depth discussions about energy resilience, we gained valuable insight into the real world challenges rural businesses are facing – and the big ambitions they have for the future.
A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to visit us, ask questions, and share their stories. You made our first Fieldays® experience not just successful, but genuinely rewarding. We’re excited for what’s ahead – and can’t wait to keep the momentum going.
