Energy Solutions for Agriculture
Grow profts while protecting the environment.
We work with growers, processors, wineries, cold storage facilities, packers, nurseries, and a wide range of other agriculture entities to deliver energy savings and security. Whether you are looking to optimize high-energy-use processes like irrigation, ensure backup power and total resiliency for a cold storage facility, reduce general operating expenses, or simply farm more sustainably, we can help.
Serving Agriculture
Many agricultural operations require continuous power for climate control, irrigation, and ventilation. Power outages can lead to crop loss, livestock stress, and significant financial losses. This is especially critical for:
Greenhouses and Nurseries
Temperature-sensitive plants like orchids or young seedlings can be damaged or destroyed by even short interruptions in climate control.
Livestock Facilities
Maintaining proper ventilation and temperature is crucial for animal health and productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where on my farm can I install Briggs & Stratton Batteries?
Briggs & Stratton batteries have a very small footprint. Their energy density combined with the fact that they do not require ventilation, ancillary cooling or thermal monitoring means our batteries can be installed in tight spaces, such as closets or utility rooms. In addition, because our batteries can operate safely in temperatures from -4° to 140°F, they can be installed indoors or outdoors. This versatility allows you to choose to install container-type storage or in existing barns, warehouses or other buildings.
We are generating solar and/or wind energy to offset our operational energy needs. Can Briggs & Stratton batteries be added and optimize my existing generation assets?
Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions is able to store electricity from solar and wind turbines (DC input), conventional generators, or the grid. Given that renewable sources of power can be intermittent and unpredictable without energy storage, adding our batteries to your renewable generation plant will allow you to have true power security and resilience. In addition, in grid-tied locations, an integrated solar PV or wind turbine combined with an energy storage system can maximize your utility bill savings - both reducing energy and demand charges.
Can Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions help reduce our utility bills?
With Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions, agricultural operations can either capture energy created through renewable generation and store it, or store energy from the grid during off peak hours when prices are low and discharging it during peak rate times. By limiting your need to rely on grid power and reducing short-term usage spikes, Briggs & Stratton is able to help agricultural customers reduce their exposure to significant peak demand charges, which can account for as much as 50 percent of a utility bill.
Are Briggs & Stratton lithium-ion batteries safe for agricultural operations?
When it comes to lithium-ion batteries, cobalt is an element that is toxic and poses the risk of thermal runaway and fire. We do not use cobalt. Our lithium-ion chemistry is lithium ferrous phosphate (LFP) which is environmentally benign and non-toxic. Without any danger of overheating or toxicity, our batteries do not pose a risk of fire or contamination of crops, animals or processed food products.
