Three easy steps to solar savings:

1. Contact us and speak to one of our specialist agri consultants, who will discuss your unique requirements.

2. If solar is viable for you, we’ll provide a bespoke quotation (subject to survey) and then if you’re happy, we’ll visit your farm to carry out the 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.

Productivity, Profitability and Sustainability

“Four years ago, we installed solar panels at our chicken unit to offset increased power consumption following an upgrade to the ventilation system.

Now, in summer, when the ventilation system uses a lot of electricity, our peak generation matches our peak consumption.

We achieved our return on investment within four years. Had we installed at today’s electricity prices, we would have achieved our ROI within a year.”
