UK Farm Solar Reviews

Combined re-roof and PV on three livestock buildings. Asbestos cement stripped properly, new cladding, panels commissioned. Five-month delivery, single team, no surprises. The 320 kW is now generating ahead of model.

They walked every building, ran the meter data, and were upfront that the older grain store wasn't worth doing yet. Honest about which roofs work and which don't. The two that did have come in ahead of forecast.

Tenant-farmer install on Crown Estate. They handled the addendum, ran the conversation with the landlord agent, and the system was commissioning before some PPA developers had even finished their site visit.

460 kW across three of five finishing sheds. The team scheduled physical install entirely within our empty-shed window between batches — biosecurity was respected throughout. First-year generation 12% ahead of model.

Difficult site — listed glasshouse complex, three different DNO supply points, supplier-audit pressure from a major UK retailer. They modelled three financing scenarios in detail, lined up a PPA developer who took on the ground-mount risk, and delivered everything inside the supplier audit window.

Smaller install (90 kW) but they treated it with the same rigour as their larger projects. The livery customer base now sees the live-generation board in the tack room — small thing but it matters for customer retention.

Full ASF biosecurity protocol observed throughout — boot dips, restricted vehicle access, daily decontamination. No interruption to feed cycles. Annual electricity spend halved.

Avian influenza biosecurity respected from day one. Install scheduled into a six-week flock changeover window. The retailer's supplier audit team referenced the install in our 2025 contract extension conversation.

AONB design assessment dealt with by them. We barely had to engage. The fleet-electrification plan they put together alongside is also influencing the next capital cycle.

Listed building consent on the older barn was a hurdle but they engaged early with the conservation officer. Steered the install onto the unlisted machinery shed. Approval came through faster than expected.

NGED G99 took longer than promised on day one — 14 months total, not 6. The team kept communicating throughout and ultimately delivered. Generation now solid.

Multi-building rollout — single G99, central inverter farm, shared monitoring. Saved at least £40k on aggregated DNO works vs running four separate projects. They modelled this properly upfront.
