If you’re still buying your electricity from the Grid in the traditional way then you’re almost certainly paying too much for it.

Farms, with their high daytime energy demands for tasks like irrigation, can significantly benefit from solar. Solar panels generate power during sunlight hours, aligning perfectly with farm electricity needs. This reduces reliance on the grid, and your energy bills.

The resulting cost savings become an investment opportunity for farms. Upgrading equipment, improving irrigation systems, or even expanding operations become more achievable, boosting overall farm efficiency and profitability.

By taking your existing half-hourly electricity consumption data we can create an accurate 20-year forecast of how much solar energy your farm can generate, how much will be used, and how much you’ll be able to store in batteries on site.

We’ll then go on to give you a full Return on Investment Report for our proposed installation. This will give an honest assessment of your needs ― for example, if filling an entire roof with panels would be overkill, we’ll tell you.

This would be followed by a survey, drawings, wind-weight loading calculations. Then, all technical and health & safety certificates will be included in our service.

At Atlantic Renewables we can do more than just reduce your bills and carbon footprint on the energy you need for your everyday business needs. We can also help you establish a profitable new business generating energy purely for sale.

Our team has installed large field-based commercial solar systems on pile driven foundations, concrete foundations and railway sleepers, as well as ballasted solutions.

Some crops may have a poor yield and livestock prices may fluctuate, but solar energy provides a stable 20-year financial income. At the same time, 70% of the solar panelled land can still be used for crops and grazing animals, providing the same kind of welcome shade and weather protection as trees.

We can plan, install and maintain your solar energy farm. As part of our service we’ll provide accurate forecasting of future usage and costs. We’ll also help with finance provision if needed and supply all the documentation you need including the necessary planning permission and Grid consent.
