We are a UK commercial solar installer that works only with farms. Dairy parlours, arable grain stores, poultry and pig units, glasshouses, equestrian centres and ground-mount schemes on marginal land are what we do, day in and day out. We are MCS-certified for commercial work, NICEIC-registered, and members of Solar Energy UK, and we have delivered well over 150 farm installs across the country, from sub-30 kW family-farm rooftops to multi-megawatt arrays.
Why we focus on farms
Plenty of solar companies will quote a farm. Very few understand one. A farm is not a warehouse with a tractor parked outside. The load profile of a dairy is nothing like that of an arable holding, asbestos cement roofing is common on buildings put up before 2000, tenant farmers need landlord consent before anything goes on the roof, and rural grid feeders are some of the most capacity-constrained in the country. These are not edge cases for us, they are the everyday detail of the work. Specialising in agriculture means we get the sizing, the planning route and the grid application right the first time, which is what protects the payback you are buying the system for.
How we work
We start with data, not a sales pitch. Every project begins with a free desk-based feasibility study built from your half-hourly meter data and roof or land drawings, so the system is matched to how your farm actually uses energy through the year rather than a rule of thumb. Because we are independent of any single panel or inverter manufacturer, we specify the equipment that suits the site, not the brand we happen to have a deal with. We model rooftop and ground-mount together where both are realistic, and we are upfront about the things that drive cost, the grid connection, any re-roofing, the structural survey, so there are no surprises later. If a site does not suit solar, we will tell you, because a system that underperforms damages our name more than walking away ever could.
The farm-specific issues we handle as standard
Asbestos roof assessment is part of every survey, and we deliver combined re-roof and PV projects routinely where the existing roof cannot take panels. For tenant farmers we provide the lease addendum and run the landlord conversation, drawing on experience with institutional rural landlords who already have standard tenant-PV agreements. On capacity-constrained networks we will design for self-consumption only, a no-export approach that can cut a grid connection timeline from many months to a few weeks where it suits the load. And we understand the commercial side that increasingly matters to farmers: supermarket buyers asking for evidence of Scope 2 emissions reductions, where on-site generation becomes part of an auditable sustainability case, not just an energy saving.
Accreditations and warranty
We hold every certification a UK commercial solar installer should hold, each verifiable against the issuing body, and they are listed in full below. Our workmanship is covered by an insurance-backed warranty providing ten years of cover, so the guarantee stands even if circumstances change. The panels themselves carry the manufacturer performance warranties standard on tier-one modules, typically 25 years. We are happy to share certification details and references on request, and we would always encourage a prospective customer to verify them directly with the relevant body.
What makes us different
The agricultural sector has been let down by enough cowboy installers over the years that healthy scepticism is warranted. We earn trust by being specific: real figures from real installs, honest assessments of whether a site works, and a refusal to overstate grants or savings. We would rather lose a sale than oversell a system. That approach has built a steady book of farm work across UK agriculture and, just as importantly, the repeat and referral business that comes from getting it right.
