Agricultural and rural solar

Turn your barn roofs and land into energy and savings

Farms and rural properties run on energy, often at high cost and at the end of a network that is not always reliable. Solar and battery storage cut your running costs and give you real energy independence.

What we install on rural sites

Rooftop solar on farm buildings

Barns, sheds and agricultural buildings usually have large unused roof space facing the right way. That roof can carry a serious array without using an acre of land.

Ground mount solar

Put unproductive land to work with a ground mount array, sized around your site and your demand rather than the shape of a roof.

Battery storage

Store daytime generation for evening and night use, and keep essential equipment running through a power cut. We install systems including Sigenergy and the Tesla Powerwall 3.

EV and vehicle charging

Charging for farm vehicles, fleet and machinery, tied into your own generation so more of your running costs stay on site.

Why solar works so well on rural sites

Rural properties have the two things solar needs most: space and demand.

What to consider

Rural sites have a few extra things to work through

Grid connection and export capacity

Rural networks can have limits on how much you are allowed to export, and DNO capacity varies from site to site. It is worth knowing early, because it shapes the design.

Planning

Ground mount arrays and work on agricultural buildings can bring planning considerations, and they differ by site and local authority.

We help you navigate both as part of the survey and design. No guesswork, and no promises we cannot stand behind.

Why work with Energy Giants

Farm and rural projects

Two rural case studies are being written up now. We publish the real figures once the systems have run through a season, so what you read here is what actually happened.

Coming soon
Dairy farm, Lancashire

Milking twice a day, and the bill to match.

A working dairy where the parlour, the bulk tank and the washdown run every morning and every evening, which is exactly the shape of load that rooftop solar and a battery are built for.

  • Shed roof array sized to the parlour and cooling load
  • Battery to carry the evening milking from the afternoon sun
  • Export of the midday surplus under the Smart Export Guarantee
Case study in preparation. Published when the figures are in.
Coming soon
Diversified farm with glamping pods

Off grid pods, on grid confidence.

A farm that has added glamping pods and a farm shop to the core business, at the end of a rural line that drops out in bad weather. The brief was resilience first, savings second.

  • Solar and storage for the pods and the shop, with backup for power cuts
  • Ground mount on a low value corner of the holding
  • One system across the farmhouse, the business and the diversification
Case study in preparation. Published when the figures are in.
Your farm

The next one could be yours.

A free site survey looks at your roofs, your land, your supply and the shape of your demand, and tells you honestly what would pay. If it is a good story, we will ask to write it up, with your say over every figure.
