Since 1973, brothers Joe and Alf have run Sparacino Farms, a thriving avocado and citrus operation tucked away in the lush hinterland of the Central Coast. Over more than half a century on the land, the Sparacinos have become increasingly committed to sustainable agricultural practices that support the long-term ecological health of the region.

In early 2024, this commitment led them to explore rooftop solar, with the goal of reducing their carbon emissions.

To bring this vision to life, the Sparacinos partnered with Cyanergy, a longtime Smart Ease Channel Partner and one of Australia’s leaders in commercial solar projects. After a thorough site assessment, the Cyanergy team proposed two solar systems to maximise the use of the farm’s two rooftops. They also recommended a 19.2kWh battery to enhance solar self-consumption and maximise energy bill savings.

The resulting 127.5kW solar and storage system is expected to generate 165.87MWh of clean energy annually, cutting Sparacino Farms’ energy bills by an impressive 75%.
