Powering British Agriculture with Smart Solar Solutions

At Econergy, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities that landowners and farmers face today. With energy costs on the rise and sustainability becoming a priority for governments, consumers, and communities, more and more agricultural professionals are turning to solar power as a smart, long-term investment.

We help you harness the full potential of your land and buildings by designing and installing efficient, high-performance solar panel systems. Whether you run a small family farm or manage extensive agricultural estates, Econergy offers tailored solutions that work with your business, not against it. Our mission is to support rural communities with clean, affordable energy and make the UK’s farming future brighter, greener, and more resilient.

Why Choose Solar for Your Agricultural Land?

The benefits of solar for agriculture are both immediate and long-lasting. By installing a solar panel for agriculture, you're not just reducing your carbon footprint, you’re future-proofing your business.

Lower Your Energy Bills: Farms often consume significant amounts of electricity, particularly during high-demand seasons. Solar power can slash your operational costs and provide consistent energy regardless of market fluctuations.

Generate Passive Income: By leasing land for agricultural land solar panels, you can create a steady income stream, all while keeping your core farming operations intact.

Improve Sustainability Credentials: Consumers and retailers are increasingly seeking sustainable suppliers. A solar installation sends a clear message that your business cares about the environment and the future of food production.

Energy Independence: With the unpredictability of energy prices, generating your own electricity helps insulate your farm against price shocks and enhances energy security.

Can You Put Solar Panels on Agricultural Land?

This is one of the most common questions we get, and the answer is yes, you absolutely can. However, there are important factors to consider before moving forward.

Planning and Regulations: In the UK, installing solar panels on agricultural land typically requires planning permission. Econergy takes care of the paperwork and liaises with local authorities to streamline this process.

Land Suitability: Flat or south-facing fields with minimal shading are ideal for ground-mounted systems. Land that is not intensively used or is less productive agriculturally is often perfect for solar development.

Dual Use Benefits: One of the most exciting innovations is agrivoltaics, the practice of using land for both agriculture and solar energy production. You can continue grazing livestock or growing certain crops beneath the panels, maintaining productivity while harvesting the sun's power.

Solar Panels on Agricultural Buildings

Agricultural buildings are prime real estate for solar power. We install panels on:

  • Barns
  • Grain stores
  • Machinery sheds
  • Livestock shelters
  • Greenhouses and workshops

With expert structural assessments and system design, your roof space becomes an asset—producing energy while preserving valuable land. Our systems are lightweight, durable, and compatible with various roofing materials.

Custom Solutions for Every Landowner

Whether you have a few hectares or hundreds, we tailor our systems to meet your goals:

  • Ground-Mounted Systems: Ideal for open fields and underutilised areas, especially when roof space is limited.
  • Battery Storage: Store excess energy and use it when you need it, day or night, rain or shine.
  • Large-Scale Projects: Estate owners and agri-enterprises benefit from scalable solutions that offset significant energy demands.

A Smart Investment with Real Returns

Solar energy isn’t just good for the planet, it’s good business.

  • Attractive ROI: Most installations pay for themselves in 5 to 7 years, then generate decades of free electricity.
  • Government Incentives: Benefit from schemes such as the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), capital allowances, and potential grants.
  • Proven Results: We’ve helped farms across the UK save thousands per year while gaining independence from fluctuating energy prices.
