Key questions to ask when considering if solar PV is right for you are:
- Do you own or have a long lease on your buildings?
- Is the cost of electricity an important cost to your business?
- Have you got suitable roofs? You don’t have to face South on a low pitch roof to get a good return. Ask us for free advice.
- Will your roof need replacing in the next 20-30 years?
- No planning permission is needed for roof mounted installations.
- Ground mounted panels, subject to planning permission, also make sense for high consumption sites.

Solar energy can power remote agricultural equipment, reducing the reliance on diesel generators and provide long term energy security with excellent ROI’s. With battery backup some temporary cover for power cuts can often save the day.
- Uses: Solar PV supports greenhouses, dairy operations, irrigation systems, crop drying and livestock facilities. It can also power farm machinery charging stations and provide energy for cold storage facilities to keep produce fresh.
