Three easy steps to solar savings:

1. Contact us and speak to one of our specialist surveyors, who will discuss your unique requirements.
2. If solar is viable for you, we’ll provide a bespoke quote (subject to survey) and then if you’re happy, we’ll visit your farm to carry out a survey.
3. If you decide to proceed, our team will handle all your installation paperwork, including Building Control and District Network Operator requirements; and arrange a date for our specialist engineers to install your new system.

We’ll provide you with a full handover, so you’ll know how your new panels work.

We also offer an annual servicing package, to help ensure your panels are running at their optimum levels well into the future.

“We own a robotic dairy farm with 180 cows. We first installed a 10kW system with Mole Energy six years ago, then last year made the decision to install a further 40kW system. Our three robots run 24/7 but we had an unbelievably hot summer with our panels generating electricity throughout the day.

This saved us £600 per month* on our energy bills; in June, July and August. It’s been brilliant and even over the winter it was producing electricity for us. We’re really happy with it.” Mr R – Dairy Farmer

*In the same time period, the system generated 15400kWs and saved 3.6 tonnes in CO2 emissions .
