Energy Issues Facing Solar Panels For Farms

Dairy & poultry farms or any farm that needs to run chillers biggest cost is electricity. In February 2013, the owners at Upsydling Dorchester had a 50 kWp Solar PV system installed onto their grain store.They were so pleased with the results they later commissioned us to design and install a 50 kWp ground mount array. They are currently considering another disused area of their land for an 8MW solar farm.

The Future Of Solar

With constant battles over trying to save our planet from global warming, solar is the way forward. Solar is an environmentally friendly way of generating electricity available for everyday use as well as protecting your farms investments and profitability. Solar makes complete sense for every farmer looking to add value and, cut costs at the same time.

Why Choose Us As Your Installers?

At Empower we make ensure we consistentley deliver outstanding installations to all our customers and match the high standard customer service we enforce within the company. If you’re in consideration of installing solar for your agricultural farm or outbuilding here’s why you should choose us as your trusted installers.

How The Solar Installation Process Works

How does it work? Once you’ve contacted our team with the details required, we’ll provide you with a solar system quote specific to your project. Once all the design and planning for your project is completed our team of engineers will visit the site and start the official installation of your solar system. Solar panel installations can take several days depending on the size system you require for your outbuilding/ agricultural farm.

Solar Panel Installation Costs

The cost of a commercial solar system installation can vary significantly from each project. This is because the sizing of each system can range from as little as 6kwp to as large as 500kwp so until we have the required details to calculate your project it's difficult to estimate the cost of your install.

MCS Accredited Installers

Ensuring your installation goes smoothly and your system is correctly installed means having installers who you can trust to go above and beyond to get the job done, quickly, and accurately. This needs to be taken into consideration carefully when choosing your installers. Ensuring your installers are MCS accredited not only protects you from receiving a flawed installation but it also means your system will meet the high standards that all certified installers work to. Our team of specialists at Empower are all MCS accredited installers with a wide range of knowledge and well-respected amount of years fitting solar systems for outbuildings and agricultural farms.

Why Invest In Commercial Solar?

Installing solar to your agricultural farm or outbuilding is a no brainer. With electricity prices constantly rising and significantly reducing farmers capital over recent years 2020 couldn’t be a better year to install solar and make it your smartest investment to date. Despite the concern of solar still maintaing profitability due to the feed-in tariff no longer existing now is the smartest time to consider solar.

PPA Agreement

The PPA stands for Power Purchase Agreement. This agreement where one investor sells electricity at a fixed rate to the customer therefore both of them financially benefit from the agreement. The electricity that is sold to the buyer is significantly cheaper than standard electricity rates, this is why it works so well and is a bonus of installing solar to your agricultural farm or outbuilding.

A building with a large kwp (kilowatt peak) solar system is going to generate considerably more electricity than a smaller kwp system. This is what makes such a difference in price. Whether it’s a smaller system you require or a large kwp system, solar is ideal for either because it works to accommodate your needs and ensure your system is the right size for what your company requires.

Solar Technology For Farms

Carbon Footprint Reduction

Solar isn’t just good for your farms business environment too. Instead of generating electricity that releases harmful gas emissions into our atmosphere regularly, you can make the switch to solar, meaning you'll significantly reduce the CO2 emissions you release and help reduce global warming.

It might not sound like much but here at Empower, we're all about being green and helping as much as we can to achieve a healthy and clean atmosphere. Just by generating renewable energy you're doing your bit to help the environment too.

Low Maintenance Costs

The best thing about solar is once your system is installed, it doesn’t demand a great deal of maintenance, so you don’t need to worry about constantly having to have your system looked at. Any required maintenance isn’t high in cost but excellent value for money so you get what you pay for without having to do a thing.

Benefits Broken Down

  • Energy suppliers provide cheaper, fixed electricity rates Continues ensuring profitability to your farm
  • Reduce harmful emissions released
  • Low maintenance prices
  • Seen as additional financial value to your farm or outbuilding
  • Environmentally friendly

Is My Solar Farm Suitable For Solar PV ?

There are many contributing factors to a systems’ effectiveness, such as location, angle, shading etc. By far the best way to check is to have one of our experienced commercial solar surveyors visit you personally and prepare a no obligation report and quotation. Not only will this highlight your system options, it will also show the estimated generation that you can expect from your system based on accurate details prior to installation, instead of averages and ‘best case’ figures.
