Benefits of solar
Benefits of Solar for Farms & Agricultural Land
Farms across East Anglia are under increasing pressure from rising energy costs and the need for more sustainable practices. Solar installations offer a reliable, cost-effective solution by turning unused roof space and land into sources of clean energy.
Cut energy costs
Energy is one of the largest overheads for farms. By generating your own electricity, you can significantly reduce reliance on the grid and protect your business from rising energy prices.
Power essential farm operations
Solar energy can support a wide range of farm activities, from running irrigation systems and refrigeration units to powering machinery and lighting. This ensures greater stability and efficiency across daily operations.
Utilise roofs & unused land
Barns, outbuildings, and open land often provide excellent space for solar installations. By using these areas, farms can maximise the value of their property while keeping valuable crop land productive.
Improve sustainability credentials
Installing solar panels reduces your carbon footprint and demonstrates a clear commitment to sustainable farming practices. This can enhance your farm’s reputation and appeal to environmentally conscious buyers and suppliers.
Long-term financial security
Solar systems are designed to perform for decades, providing consistent returns on investment. Alongside reduced energy bills, many farms can also benefit from exporting surplus electricity back to the grid.
