What the Farm Solar Feasibility Study service delivers
Our free desk-based feasibility study is the starting point for every UK farm solar project. We deliver a comprehensive PV feasibility analysis from your half-hourly meter data within 7 working days — no obligation, no fees, no site visit required for the initial proposal.
Detailed scope and pricing
The feasibility study covers: building-specific system size recommendation; PVSyst annual yield forecast with monthly breakdown; self-consumption ratio per building based on HH meter data analysis; 25-year DCF financial model with three financing scenarios (capital + AIA, asset finance, PPA where applicable); cost breakdown including any anticipated re-roof or three-phase upgrade costs; G99 grid connection forecast; planning context including any required consultations; risk assessment. What we need to deliver the study: half-hourly meter data for the past 12 months (export from your supplier's portal); building dimensions or aerial drone images of buildings being considered; brief on farm operation and planned changes. We can typically work with annual consumption summaries if HH data isn't available — accuracy slightly lower but the directional conclusions remain valid. Who the feasibility serves: farm operators evaluating whether solar makes sense; estate managers reviewing capital allocation; rural advisors supporting client investment decisions; lenders evaluating finance applications. What happens next: if the numbers work, we provide a fixed-price proposal within 14 working days following site survey. If they don't, we tell you honestly. No pressure to proceed.
How to access this service

For standalone service requests (clients we didn't install for), we provide a separate fee quote within 2-3 working days.
Common questions
Is this service available to clients we didn't install?
Yes — we offer all our services to clients with installations from other UK installers. Fees may differ from clients with our installs (typically slightly higher for standalone clients to reflect handover overhead).
How quickly can we engage this service?
Most engagements start within 5-10 working days of initial enquiry. Urgent situations (e.g., system fault response, supplier-audit deadline) prioritised within 24-48 hours.
Can we cancel after engagement?
Standard contracts include reasonable termination provisions. Specific terms depend on the service type and contract length.
Are these services UK-only?
We focus exclusively on UK farm installations. We don't service installations outside the UK.
