Our seven specialist agricultural solar services

Which services come together

Every UK farm solar project we deliver is a combination of services rather than a single one. A typical 100 kWp dairy parlour install bundles:

  1. 1. Free desk feasibility + structural survey (Week 1-3)
  2. 2. Solar Panel Installation + DNO grid-connection management (Week 14-22)
  3. 3. Battery Storage (optional, 30-60 kWh on most dairy installs)
  4. 4. Performance Monitoring activation + farm-team training (Week 24)
  5. 5. Maintenance & Servicing ongoing — annual £350-£600 contract typical
  6. 6. System Upgrades at year 12-15 (inverter replacement) and beyond

For projects on land instead of (or in addition to) farm building roofs, Ground-Mounted Solar design replaces the structural survey step and adds geotech assessment, planning, and access road consideration.
