Complete Agricultural Weighing Systems and Instrumentation Solutions
SolarWeigh Solar Powered Weighbridge System


Parkerfarm's solar power system provides the ideal solution for powering weighbridge installations in areas where there is no mains power. This brings optimum operational flexibility in a wide range of remote applications, making it ideal for the Agricultural, Waste & Recycling and Quarrying industries.

The latest solar panel technology, combined with low energy consumption weighbridge electronics and load cells, provides excellent power generation and storage. SolarWeigh is available in two versions, Energy-3 and Energy-12. The choice is determined by the operational requirements for the weighbridge.

SolarWeigh is made up of four elements:

  • One or more solar panels
  • Mounting support post.
  • Battery pack for storing the accumulated energy.
  • Adjustable Solar panel mounting bracket.

During exposure to sunlight, the energy produced is made available for both the operation of the equipment and for recharging the batteries. During the hours of low light/darkness the weighbridge system is powered directly from the batteries.
