Could Agricultural Solar Panels Help Your Norfolk Farm?

What Are Agricultural Solar Panels and Why Are Norfolk Farms Considering Them?
Agricultural solar panels are solar panels used in farming and agricultural settings, including suitable farm buildings and commercial premises. For a farm owner or agricultural business, the right installation needs to be considered alongside your property's electrical requirements, available space and intended use. The decision is not simply about placing panels on a roof. Your property, electrical system, buildings and requirements all need to be considered before deciding what type of work may be appropriate.

Could Solar Be Suitable for Your Farm or Agricultural Building?
Every agricultural property has its own requirements. The size and use of your building, the existing electrical installation and the way your property operates all form part of the wider picture.
Your requirements should be considered before deciding what electrical work may be needed. A farm with several agricultural buildings may have very different needs from a smaller commercial premises or a single farm workshop.
You can access electrical installation services tailored around individual budgets and requirements, whether you're responsible for a farm, agricultural building, workshop or commercial premises.

Could Your Farm Earn Money by Selling Energy Back to the Grid?
Under the UK government's Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), farms with solar installations can be paid by energy suppliers for surplus electricity exported to the national grid. The amount you could earn depends on your system size, how much energy your farm uses on-site, and the SEG rate your supplier offers.
Step 1
Solar panels generate electricity
Your system produces power during daylight hours from the panels installed on your agricultural buildings.
Step 2
Your farm uses what it needs
Energy generated is used first by your farm's own electrical systems, reducing what you buy from the grid.
Step 3
Surplus goes back to the grid, and earns you money
Any electricity you don't use is exported to the national grid. Under SEG, your energy supplier pays you for every unit exported.
Potential Annual SEG Earnings by System Size
Based on exporting ~33% of generation at SEG rates of 5p–12p/kWh. Figures are illustrative; actual earnings depend on your system, usage, and supplier rate.
