Solar panels for farms
From roof solar panels for poultry, dairy farms and vegetable stores, to ground mounted solar installations, we can help your agricultural business save money and carbon emissions.
Why should farms install solar panels?
Modern farming is a balancing act. Rising energy bills, unpredictable weather and narrow profit margins make it harder to protect what’s been built over generations. Installing solar panels can deliver significant operational, financial and environmental benefits:
Protect your business from rising energy costs
The energy price peaks seen in 2022 caused nearly half of agricultural producers to consider reducing their output to save money.
Generating some of your energy on-site builds a buffer against energy price rises, providing a reliable source of low-cost electricity.
Make your farm more profitable to secure its future
Farm profit margins are tighter than ever. Tapping a new source of revenue, such as generating and selling renewable electricity, can provide the flexibility to weather other challenges and make your business more sustainable.
Solar panels for dairy farms, poultry farms, and crop production facilities
Rooftop solar panel installations will reduce energy bills for poultry farms, dairy farms and vegetable and fruit storage.
Designed to work in harmony with your land
We will work with you to design a system that supports food production and biodiversity – not disrupt them. Whether that’s roof or ground mounted solar, we can help.

“My message to other farms considering solar panels is don’t hesitate – particularly if you have energy-intensive machinery and operations like we do. Access to grant funding helps smaller farms, such as ours, become more sustainable and viable.”John Coggon, Director of Coggon Bros Ltd at Mill Farm.
