Our Story

Powering British Farms Since 2012

Solar Panels for Farm Buildings was founded with a simple mission: to help British farmers harness the power of the sun to reduce their energy costs and increase the sustainability of their operations.

What began as a small team of solar enthusiasts with agricultural backgrounds has grown into a nationwide operation with over 500 successful farm installations across the UK. Our specialization in agricultural buildings sets us apart, with solutions designed specifically for the unique requirements of farm environments.

Today, we remain committed to our founding principles of quality, integrity, and customer satisfaction, providing bespoke solar solutions that deliver real value to British farmers.
