AGRICULTURE

Farm buildings particularly with large, un-shaded roofs typically present ideal conditions for generating electricity through the sun’s energy.

Generating your own electricity supply minimises the need to purchase power from your energy supplier and future proofs your farm against rising energy prices.  If you have a high electricity demand during the day, particularly during summer months you can make substantial energy cost savings.  Hence why solar is an ideal fit if you require power for cold storage of harvested produce, as you can align high power generation with high demand.
