Agricultural solar in Pembrokeshire costs £600–£900 per kWp installed gross — about £360–£540 per kWp net after FETF and 100% AIA.

What grants are available for farm solar in Pembrokeshire?
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 Pembrokeshire?
Most Pembrokeshire farm solar systems pay back in 1.6–2.6 years after FETF and 100% AIA.

After payback every kWh generated is effectively free for the remaining 20+ years of the system's life.
