Solar Solutions Designed Around Your Farm
No two farms are exactly the same. Your energy requirements will depend on your buildings, equipment, working patterns and plans for the future.
Our team will assess:
- Your current electricity usage
- Energy demand throughout the day and across different seasons
- Suitable roof space on barns, sheds and other agricultural buildings
- Potential ground-mounted options
- Roof orientation and shading
- Battery storage opportunities
- Existing or future machinery and EV charging requirements
- Remote locations that may benefit from a tailored energy solution
- Opportunities to combine solar with wind generation or off-grid technologies
- Options to export surplus electricity where applicable
Suitable Agricultural Applications
Solar panels can help generate electricity for a wide range of farming activities, including:
- Dairy operations and milking equipment
- Refrigeration and cooling systems
- Lighting
- Ventilation
- Pumps
- Workshops
- Farm offices
- Poultry and livestock buildings
- General farm operations
- EV and machinery charging
- More remote buildings and facilities
Battery Storage, Wind and Off-Grid Options
Solar panels can be installed as a standalone renewable energy system or combined with other technologies.
Battery Storage
Store more of the electricity generated during the day and use it later when demand increases.
Wind Generation
Depending on the location and energy requirements, wind generation may complement solar panels and support a broader renewable energy strategy.
Off-Grid Solutions
For suitable locations, AGD Renewables can develop bespoke systems combining technologies such as solar panels, wind turbines and battery storage.
Remote Monitoring
Monitor the performance of your system and track energy generation over time.
