Robertson Farm Solar — 83,000 kWh per Year + Battery Backup Near Swift Current

Project overview

Doug Robertson — a heavyweight in the Swift Current, Saskatchewan farming community and former owner of 11 New Holland dealerships — chose Prairie Sun Solar for a 57.78 kW ground-mount solar system near Swift Current, paired with a hybrid battery-backup setup. Two full years of stable production: 83,647 → 82,470 kWh per year, within 1.4% of each other. Annualized output works out to roughly 1,466 kWh per kW per year, above the Saskatchewan provincial average of 1,200–1,300 — solid south-central SK performance, with the battery layer keeping critical loads online during grid outages (the system stays grid-tied for everyday operation, then automatically backs up when SaskPower goes down).

What stands out

• Swift Current, Saskatchewan farm solar — two full years of stable production within 1.4% of each other (83,647 → 82,470 kWh)
• 1,466 kWh per kW per year on a 57.78 kW bifacial ground-mount system near Swift Current — above the Saskatchewan provincial average of 1,200–1,300
• Bifacial Canadian Solar panels capture reflected light off snow and bare ground — extra winter production a typical south-facing rooftop can't match
• Hybrid grid-tied solar + battery backup — stays connected to SaskPower for everyday operation, automatically backs up critical loads when the grid goes down
• Trusted by a former owner of 11 New Holland dealerships — deep roots in the Swift Current farming community
