So long as it is both possible and safe to do so, the Solar Home team will install your solar PV system wherever you want it. If you are not using solar panels – ground or roof mounted – in agriculture to power your farm, you are losing out on thousands in energy savings!
Solar Panels In Farmers Fields
A popular choice for many farmers is to mount solar panels on the grounds of vast farmlands (in fields) in cases where larger-scale systems are required.
Solar Panels On Farm Sheds
Solar panels can be installed on farm rooftops, such as sheds, barns, and milking parlours, where space and sun exposure are optimal.
Solar Panels For Farmhouse
Solar panels will reduce your farm house’s electricity bills, increase energy independence and your BER energy rating by one full grade on average.
Solar Panels For Farm Buildings
For farms with high electricity consumption, PV solar panels can be integrated near irrigation pumps, grain dryers, or cold storage units to directly offset usage.
Installing solar panels on agricultural land is arguably the smartest and quickest way for Irish farmers to cut costs whilst transitioning to more sustainable farming operations. Whether mounted on rooftops or in unused field space, solar PV systems can fuel all the farming activities carried out on the daily, from powering electric fences to running the entire farmhouse on free solar electricity.
For a typical farmer in Ireland, the cost of installing a full solar PV system (capable of powering the majority of farm operations) generally ranges between €15,000 to €30,000, depending on the size of the system and energy usage. With generous TAMS grants for farmers subsidised by the Irish government and covering up to 60% of the installation costs, many farmers are now investing as little as €6,000 to €12,000 out of their own pocket to transform their farms into greener ecosystems that self-sustain.
