August 03, 2026 Richard Hawke - Delivering solar that saves, earns and survives outages
Farmlands FLEX is giving farmers battery-backed solar that keeps the shed running through a power cut, while cutting down one of the fastest-rising costs on farms around the country.

Key Account Manager for Farmlands Richard Hawke says the design proved itself in last year's outages, with wind events in the Amuri Basin and South Otago cutting power to a number of farms.

"There were a couple of installations, particularly in South Otago, that were able to continue milking throughout.”
