What are the benefits of installing agricultural solar panels?
The benefits of using solar for agriculture are endless, and it is becoming increasingly important to take advantage of these benefits, not only for the environment but for your agricultural business too.
These benefits include saving on energy costs by being able to generate your own electricity. This eliminates your reliance on the grid.
Also, agricultural businesses are being looked at, now more than ever, to begin adopting greener practices. You'll be able to boost your environmental stewardship by using agricultural solar panels.
And, by lowering your energy bills, you free up capital that can be used to improve production, expand operations, or invest in new technology.
Agricultural businesses are realising massive savings by implementing agricultural solar panels as a cost-effective and sustainable power solution.
Because of rising energy costs and high operational demands, commercial solar offers farms and agricultural businesses a way of cutting costs, stabilising energy prices and secure long-term profitability.
- Reduction in energy costs
- Protection against rising energy prices
- Using available land and rooftop space to maximise on profitability.

Agricultural companies and farms are best equipped to implement agricultural solar panels due to the vast amount of space and land available.
The large amount of space goes hand-in-hand with the need for commercial solar because of the large energy needs and the increasing importance of sustainable practices in farming and agriculture.
Your farm or agricultural company is quickly able to achieve energy independence because of this, which also prevents you from struggling with power outages due to often being remotely located.
Agricultural solar panels can be used across a wide range of applications, making it versatile and cost-effective.
Also, consumers will trust your company a lot more for using sustainable practices to power your farm or agricultural company.
As the UK grapples with the dual challenges of food security and climate change, innovative solutions are increasingly essential. One promising avenue for farmers is the integration of solar energy into their operations, particularly through the installation of solar panels on agricultural land.
This approach not only contributes to renewable energy generation but also offers a range of benefits for farmers and the environment. Farmers across the UK are increasingly turning to innovative practices that promote sustainability, utilising solar panels in agricultural settings can help farmers diversify their income streams.
By leasing land for solar installations or generating their own electricity, farmers can reduce energy costs and create a new revenue source. This is especially beneficial in a climate where margins are tight and the cost of inputs continues to rise.
At Chapel Farm, we installed a 200kW solar PV system that will offset nearly 45,000kg of CO2 each year while saving the client over £700,000 in profit in the upcoming years.
