Solar Panels For Farms

At Solar Energy Future, we provide turnkey supply, installation, and maintenance services for agricultural solar panels. With the cost of electricity increasing every year, many farms are searching for ways to reduce their energy bills and maintain profitability. With vast roofs and acres of unused land, farms are ideal locations for large solar PV systems that can offset high daily electricity consumption and protect businesses against future rises in electricity costs.

Solar panels are a reliable and efficient way for farms to save money and reduce their carbon footprint. At Solar Energy Future, we understand farming businesses' unique energy demands and goals. Our team of experts is well-equipped to design and install bespoke systems that suit your business's specific needs and deliver positive results.

We can also help you with finance options to suit your business's unique financial situation. While self-financing offers the best returns over the lifetime of a system, many farms have restricted budgets or prefer to spend their capital elsewhere. As part of our consultative approach, we offer guidance about available finance options and provide detailed economic efficiency calculations to help you understand how and when you can expect to break even, the structure of repayments, and your overall profit.

A power purchase agreement (PPA) has become one of the most popular ways for farms to finance solar panels. If your energy usage and roof space meet specific criteria, this solution enables you to benefit from a free solar PV installation funded by a PPA provider. Electricity generated by the system is then sold back to you at a rate much cheaper than your current energy prices, saving you thousands of pounds on your bills and providing your business with all the benefits of solar PV with no upfront cost. You rent your roof and buy discounted solar electricity instead of investing in your solar PV system.

At solarenergyfuture.co.uk, we will guide you through the installation process, from planning permissions to the system handover. We fully comply with the latest regulations and protection measures concerning installing electrical equipment on farms containing livestock. Our systems are thoroughly tested and guaranteed against ammonia and salt mist attacks, and we ensure that our roof-mounted systems do not compromise natural ventilation pathways in cattle shed roofs.

Our bespoke solar panel systems provide a range of benefits for farms, including significant savings on energy costs, secure future energy supplies, diversification of land use, protection against power shortages, and a healthy ROI. Moreover, solar panels are classed as plant and machinery and are eligible for capital allowances to minimise tax liabilities.
