Phnxx: Trial partners for modular off grid solar and battery systems
Opportunity for
- Trial partners in certain agricultural sectors with farm Irrigation farming operations such as almond growers, horticulture producers, berry farms, avocado and mango growers to trial modular off grid solar and battery systems.
Opportunity description
Industry challenge
Energy is a major and rising cost for many agricultural operations, particularly for farms that rely heavily on irrigation pumps, refrigeration, heating, processing, and other energy-intensive infrastructure. Many producers depend on a combination of grid electricity and diesel generation, which can be expensive, volatile in price, and challenging to manage in remote or regional areas.
For irrigation farms and intensive horticulture sectors such as almonds, berries, avocados, and mangoes, energy costs can represent a significant operating expense. Aquaculture operations face similar challenges, with continuous energy demand for pumping, aeration, and water management systems.
Producers are increasingly looking for ways to reduce these energy costs while improving resilience and sustainability. Particularly with the recent global supply chain disruptions in fuel, prices and subsequently operating costs have increased by 35-40%.
Many emerging energy technologies require validation across different farming systems and regions before they can be adopted widely.
Current opportunity
PHNXX is seeking trial partners across a range of agricultural sectors where it has not yet deployed its technology, including irrigation farming, almond and horticulture production, berry farms, avocado and mango orchards, and aquaculture operations.
Through these partnerships, PHNXX aims to demonstrate the technology’s ability to reduce reliance on grid and diesel power while lowering farm energy costs. Early deployments suggest that farms spending approximately $1,500 per month on grid or diesel energy may benefit from significant cost reductions through the PHNXX system.
The company is particularly interested in working with partners who can support early adoption across multiple farms, helping to validate the technology in new production environments and build traction across different agricultural industries.
This approach could enable faster adoption by reducing upfront costs for producers while allowing investors to participate in the growth of distributed agricultural energy infrastructure.

Opportunity background
PHNXX is developing an on-farm energy technology platform designed to provide cost-effective and reliable power solutions for agricultural operations. By reducing reliance on traditional energy sources such as grid electricity and diesel generators, the system aims to lower operating costs and improve energy resilience for farms.
With successful commercialisation in the Dairy sector, the technology is now moving into a phase of broader industry validation. Deployments across a wider range of agricultural sectors will help demonstrate performance across different farm types, climates, and energy demand profiles.
