Benefits of Solar Panels for Farms

Maximize Savings and Efficiency with Solar PV Systems

Significant Energy Savings: By switching to solar, you can lower your electricity costs by up to 50%, depending on your energy needs and system size. Solar energy provides a consistent, low-cost source of power that protects your farm against rising energy costs.
Enhanced Sustainability: Solar panels generate clean, renewable energy, reducing your farm’s carbon footprint. This contributes to your environmental goals and showcases your commitment to sustainable farming practices.
Government Grants and Incentives: Take advantage of the generous grants and incentives available for farm solar installations, including the TAMS 3 Solar Capital Investment Scheme, which can cover up to 60% of the installation costs.
Positive Return on Investment: Solar PV systems offer a tangible ROI, with most installations paying for themselves in 5 to 7 years. Over a 25-year lifespan, the system continues to provide savings, making it a financially sound investment.

Getting Started

The Solar Installation Process for Farms

A Simple and Straightforward Approach

1. Initial Consultation

We start by discussing your farm's energy requirements and assessing the suitability of your roof space for solar panels. This initial consultation helps us understand your needs and determine the feasibility of a solar PV system.

2. Customized Solar Proposal

After evaluating your farm's potential for solar energy, we provide a tailored proposal outlining the recommended system size, projected energy production, costs, and available grants. This proposal helps you make an informed decision about proceeding with solar installation.

3. Streamlined Approval and Grant Application

Once you approve the proposal, our team assists with the grant application process, ensuring all paperwork is correctly completed. We handle everything from start to finish, so you don’t have to worry about the details.

4. Installation and Commissioning

Our experienced technicians install the solar PV system efficiently, minimizing disruption to your farm operations. After installation, we commission the system and provide training on how to monitor and maintain your new solar panels.

5. Ongoing Support and Annual Review

We offer continuous support after installation, including an annual review of your system to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Our team is always available to answer any questions and provide maintenance as needed.

"Install was very professional and neat. Very easy to deal with, nothing seemed like an issue to them, even though our roof slates are very difficult to work with (break very easily). The lads also fixed slates in areas of our roof away from the PV install."
