This is a general farm which specializes mainly on poultry for eggs production. The workers need to bath before entering chicken houses for germs control. For first trial, the farm house needs to be heated with solar system and if such application becomes successful then such will be extended to chicken houses targeting yield increase hence profit.

In one year, this installation gives a solar yield of 10.20 MWh and is responsible for the avoidance of 3500.00 kilograms of CO₂ emissions.
