Solar panels for farms or agricultural buildings in North West England and North Wales
If you own a farm or agricultural business, you’re likely using a significant amount of electricity to run daily operations. With energy prices continuing to rise, more and more farms across North West England and North Wales are turning to solar panel installations to reduce electricity costs, maintain profitability, and improve sustainability.
Farms are uniquely suited to solar PV systems thanks to large, underutilised roof space and open land – ideal for hosting high-yield solar arrays. Installing solar panels can dramatically offset your farm’s daily energy usage, protect your business from future price hikes, and generate long-term savings.
The rapid growth in solar panel adoption across the agricultural sector highlights the reliability and strong return on investment that solar can offer for farms and rural businesses.
Benefits
Benefits of agricultural solar panel installation
Is your farm or land suitable for solar panel installation?
If you own a farm or land in the North West or North Wales, you may wonder if it’s suitable for solar panels. Well, yes, it is! The UK receives a decent amount of sunlight, especially throughout summer, even though we may not be as sun-drenched as Spain.
But you might not know that solar panels do not require intense, all-day sunshine to produce solar energy. In fact, you don’t even need direct sunlight to create solar energy. Solar panels can generate solar energy even on a grey, cloudy day, so they’re perfect for those gloomy UK days. Even more ideal if you own a farm or have land with ample roof or ground space to spare.
Financing your agricultural solar panel system
Sometimes the upfront costs associated with an agricultural solar panel installation aren’t available to your farm business. To help with the upfront costs of an agricultural solar panel installation, we have a range of finance options available, such as hire purchase and lease options. Once solar panels have been installed, they begin generating electricity, which can be used to offset the costs of any finance payments you have to make.
There are also grants available for farm business owners, such as the Improving farm productivity grant.
Power Purchase Agreements for farms and agricultural buildings
Have you heard about power purchase agreements, also known as PPA? A PPA allows you to have solar panels installed at your farm or agricultural building without the capital outlay.
The PPA provider maintains the solar array on your behalf and sells you the generated electricity at a pre-agreed rate per kWh.
This rate will be significantly lower than your current electricity costs, allowing you to benefit from a reduced rate for many years. For more information about PPA’s contact our sales team, who will be able to guide you through the process.
