MTR BESS offers energy autonomy for agriculture, combining solar plants and local microgrids for greater efficiency and water security.
MTR BESS is revolutionizing the agricultural sector by providing advanced solutions for the sustainable use of the energy. By integrating modern technologies, the company combines the use of solar plants with innovative microgrids, ensuring not only efficiency but also greater resilience for field activities. This integration allows for more effective management of resources, ensuring constant production and minimizing environmental impacts. With this strategy, agriculture not only modernizes, but also intelligently adapts to current energy challenges.
This intelligent combination of solar power generation and advanced microgrids strengthens the production chain by providing a robust and efficient solution. The approach adopted by MTR BESS not only promotes the energy autonomy, but also protects against fluctuations in the supply of electricity. With the combination of solar plants and hybrid inverters, the available power becomes more reliable, reducing the risk of losses and unwanted downtime. In this way, agriculture can develop more safely, increasing its competitive capacity.
Advances in Local Microgrids for Agriculture
MTR BESS is at the forefront of local microgrid solutions, driving an impressive 50% increase in profits for crops such as beans when irrigated, compared to production in non-irrigated areas. On a 100-hectare area, the potential profit can reach R$1,225 million, compared to just R$637 thousand without irrigation, a difference of R$587 thousand, which highlights the revolutionary impact of energy in the field.

Innovation and Sustainability in the Energy Sector
On October 31, 2024, Brazil witnessed a breakthrough in the energy sector led by MTR Solar Group with its 'Vertical Agro' initiative. The introduction of MTR BESS, a Battery Energy Storage System, transformed agribusiness by offering energy autonomy. Developed in collaboration with GoodWe, this hybrid system innovates by integrating electricity from solar sources with powerful inverters, reducing farmers' operating costs, especially in processes that require a lot of power, such as irrigation.
Significant savings of up to 70% in irrigation costs compared to using diesel generators alone are one of the major attractions of this solution. In addition to the financial benefits, the MTR BESS advances sustainability by reducing pollutant emissions and supporting the responsible use of natural resources. Notable applications include irrigation pivots, which account for 90% of demand in the sector, allowing farmers to increase their competitiveness and adopt sustainable agricultural practices. The ability to produce and store their own energy gives farmers greater control over their costs.
Commitment to Energy Efficiency
MTR Solar, with a manufacturing plant of over 30.000 m² in Juiz de Fora/MG and a track record of 4 GWp installed, demonstrates its commitment to innovation and energy efficiency by assisting its partners in the agribusiness sector. This commitment enables more sustainable and profitable production. The partnership with GoodWe is not only an evolution in the provision of energy solutions, but also a vital step towards a greener future in the agricultural sector.
MTR CEO Thiago Rios explains that the new solution ensures a secure supply of clean, renewable energy for all agricultural processes, in addition to promoting powerful energy autonomy. With events targeted at agricultural areas, MTR Solar shows producers how to reduce energy costs, improving their production safely.
The Essential Role of Energy in Agribusiness
The energy independence provided by this system is crucial. It reduces the reliability of unstable power grids and mitigates the risk of interruptions that could affect agricultural activities. This represents a significant step forward towards sustainability in the sector, favoring agro-industrial productivity. Brazilian agribusiness remains of vital global importance, especially in the export of commodities such as soybeans and corn. Despite this, it faces challenges due to limitations in water and energy infrastructure.
In the US, for example, irrigation is an essential tool for increasing productivity, raising yields by up to 30%. Brazil, on the other hand, is still on the way to fully exploiting its potential in this regard. MTR BESS promotes energy autonomy solutions and water security, positioning itself in global competition and optimizing production.
Impact of Energized Irrigation on Agriculture
By incorporating solar energy storage systems, irrigation brings water security and a dramatic boost to agricultural productivity. MTR BESS technology promotes efficiencies that enable farmers to achieve solid profits, demonstrating the importance of energy solutions in agricultural production.
For example, studies indicate that adverse weather events are delaying harvests and compromising production, but the combination of energy storage and irrigation technologies mitigates such challenges. MTR BESS presents itself as a leader in this transformation, offering technologies that not only meet production needs but also reduce costs, promoting sustainable solutions in the agro-industrial market. These innovations are crucial for Brazil to maintain its global leadership in the agricultural sector.
