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