Should I install solar panels on my farm?

Benefits of installing solar PV panels on your farm

REDUCED OPERATING COSTS

Following rooftop installation, the Solar PV system will help power energy-intensive processes on the farm, reducing the costs of milk cooling, vacuum pumps, and water heating. Combined, these three processes account for around 80% of total milk parlour energy consumption.

MAINTENANCE FREE

With a solar system installation, you have no mechanically moving parts, which means less breakages and less maintenance. The solar energy system will generate electricity cleanly and quietly.

PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS AGAINST FUTURE PRICE CHANGES

With a solar system installation, you have control and are protecting your farm against any future price increases. Your farm will no longer be dependent on external electricity prices and the changes within the market.

GAIN GREEN BUSINESS CREDENTIALS

Solar Panel Technology means that your farm uses less fossil fuel. You will reduce your farm's greenhouse gas emissions and pollution. Being a sustainable business can be positive for public relations and a good marketing tool for your farm.
