Solar Panel Installation for Farms & Agricultural Businesses
Reduce Energy Costs and Make Better Use of Farm
Phoenix Energis designs and installs solar PV systems for farms and agricultural businesses across Wales, the Midlands, North West England and East Anglia.
Agricultural buildings often provide large areas of suitable roof space, making farms well suited to solar generation. A properly designed system can help reduce electricity purchased from the grid, support high daytime energy demand and improve long-term energy resilience.
Make Better Use of Farm Roof Space
Barns, sheds, stores and other agricultural buildings can provide valuable space for solar PV without taking productive land out of use.
Solar can be particularly effective on farms with significant daytime electricity consumption, including dairy units, poultry operations, cold storage, workshops, grain handling, irrigation and other electrically intensive activities.
Phoenix Energis designs systems around your site, available roof space and actual energy usage rather than simply installing the maximum number of panels possible.
Benefits of Solar for Farms
-
Lower Electricity Costs – Generate electricity on site and reduce the amount purchased from the grid.
-
Use Existing Roof Space – Make productive use of barns, sheds and agricultural buildings.
-
Support High Daytime Demand – Solar generation can align well with many farming operations.
-
Reduce Exposure to Energy Price Changes – Increase the proportion of electricity generated on site.
-
Battery Storage Options – Store surplus generation for use later where appropriate.
-
Support Sustainability Goals – Reduce reliance on grid electricity and lower operational carbon emissions.
Farmers across the country are already reaping the rewards of solar. Don’t let your buildings sit idle when they could be powering your future.
Speak to Phoenix Energis about your farm, electricity usage, buildings and future energy requirements.
We can assess the potential for roof-mounted solar, ground-mounted solar and battery storage and recommend an appropriate solution for your site.
Roof-Mounted & Ground-Mounted Solar for Farms
Phoenix Energis can design both roof-mounted and ground-mounted solar PV systems for agricultural sites.
Roof-mounted systems can make use of existing barns, sheds and stores, while ground-mounted systems may be suitable where additional generation capacity is required and appropriate land is available.
We assess the site, electrical infrastructure, energy demand and available installation area before recommending the most suitable approach.
Battery Storage for Agricultural Sites
Battery storage can help farms make greater use of the electricity generated by solar PV.
Surplus generation can be stored for use later in the day, helping reduce grid consumption where energy demand continues after solar generation falls.
Phoenix Energis can include battery storage as part of a new agricultural solar system or assess suitable options for an existing installation.
Our Agricultural Solar Installation Process
