Solar panels for farms across Anglesey
Anglesey (Ynys Môn) is Wales’ flattest agricultural region, with large dairy and beef holdings benefitting from some of the best solar irradiance in Wales. The island’s Enterprise Zone status and dedicated renewable energy focus make it one of the most forward-looking locations for agricultural PV in the UK.
We deliver MCS-certified solar PV across Anglesey for dairy, livestock, arable, poultry and mixed enterprises. Every project starts with half-hourly meter data analysis, a structural survey, and a fixed-price proposal — typically within 7 working days. Our installation teams cover Holyhead, Llangefni, Amlwch, Beaumaris, Menai Bridge, Valley, and the wider Isle of Anglesey area.
Local challenges we plan around
- Scottish Power Energy Networks (SPEN Manweb) grid constraints
- Coastal salt exposure requiring marine-grade mounting
- AONB restrictions on parts of the coastline
- Welsh-language planning correspondence with Cyngor Sir Ynys Môn
- Ferry and port infrastructure export opportunities
Seasonal and irradiance profile
Anglesey averages 1,540 hours of sunshine per year - the highest in Wales. Its flat topography and coastal climate produce consistent year-round generation with lower winter shortfalls than inland Welsh counties.

Agricultural solar in Anglesey costs £600–£900 per kWp installed gross — about £360–£540 per kWp net after FETF and 100% AIA. Most Isle of Anglesey farms install 50–250 kWp systems (£35,000–£175,000 gross / £19,000–£105,000 net). A typical 100 kWp barn-roof system runs £60,000–£75,000 gross, £36,000–£45,000 net.
What grants are available for farm solar in Anglesey?
The Welsh Government Farm Business Grant — Efficiency funds 40% of eligible cost (£12,000–£100,000 band) and stacks with the 100% Annual Investment Allowance. Glastir Efficiency and Farming Connect advisory support are also available.
What is the payback period on farm solar in Anglesey?
Most Anglesey farm solar systems pay back in 1.6–2.6 years after FETF and 100% AIA. Dairy and poultry units — with high 24/7 electricity demand — sit at the fast end (1.6–2.0 years); seasonal arable holdings sit toward 2.2–2.6 years. After payback every kWh generated is effectively free for the remaining 20+ years of the system's life.
