Power your farm with a tailored solar PV system from SolarTherm UK
At SolarTherm UK we design and install high performance solar panels systems for farms and agricultural businesses across the South East. With energy prices rising and farm operating costs increasing, more landowners are turning to solar PV as a cost effective and reliable way to generate their own electricity.
Our farm specific solar installations are engineered to cut energy bills, power essential agricultural equipment, reduce grid reliance and unlock long term financial returns. Whether you want to power livestock buildings, crop stores, dairy parlours or explore ground mounted solar farms, we’ll create a solution tailored to your land and goals.
Why UK Farms Are Switching to Solar Power
Agriculture has always relied on the sun, and now it’s becoming a vital source of renewable energy to help operate your farm. With overheads increasing, farmers are using solar panels to transform rooftops, barn structures and unused land into money saving, cost cutting sources of electricity.
Lower Your Farm’s Energy Bills
Farms consume significantly more electricity than a standard property, with grid prices soaring, installing solar panels on agricultural buildings allows you to generate power at a much cheaper rate, protecting your business from future price hikes. Properties with solar panels have seen decreases in energy bills up to 80%.
Create New Revenue Streams
Surplus energy your solar panels generate can be sold back to the grid, generating an additional income. This income can be reinvested into your farm to upgrade equipment, buildings or to expand.
Strengthen Your Sustainability Credentials
Solar PV is a clean, low carbon energy source. By installing solar panels on your farm you are reducing your carbon footprint and supporting your ESG goals, adding value to your produce in today’s environment conscious society.
A Low Risk, High Return Investment
With a minimum 25 year performance warranty, most modern solar panels are built to last a minimum of 30 years, with most performing effectively for up to 40 years. Soalr panels require minimal maintenance too, providing a long term investment with high returns. At SolarTherm UK, we use Bovill.tech 410W panels, that come with an industry leading 99 year warranty.
Maximise Underused Space
Installing solar panels onto your farm buildings or barns turn non-productive space into a profitable asset. Alternatively, you can install ground mounted solar panels on disused land, taking advantage of space that is otherwise going to waste.
