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 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, this 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 farms greenhouse gas emissions and pollution. Being a sustainable business can be positive for public relations and a good marketing tool for your farm.
