What the Solar + EV Charging Bundle delivers
Combining rooftop solar PV with workplace EV charging delivers near-zero marginal-cost electricity for farm fleet electrification. As UK farms electrify ATVs, light pickups, and eventually tractors, the solar+EV bundle has become the standard infrastructure stack.
Standard Solar + EV Charging Bundle scope
The bundle typically includes: 100-300 kW rooftop PV (matched to farm baseload + EV charging demand); 2-6 workplace chargers at 7-22 kW AC plus optionally 50 kW DC for tractor charging; battery storage 100-200 kWh for time-shift; intelligent EV charging management routing PV surplus to active chargers; monitoring portal showing PV generation, battery state, EV charging status.
Economics in 2026 prices
For a typical farm install: 200 kW PV + 4 × 22 kW workplace chargers + 110 kWh battery. Capex roughly £290,000 + £14,000 + £55,000 = £359,000. OZEV Workplace Charging Scheme grant £1,400 (75% × £350 × 4). 100% AIA against £345,000 of qualifying plant and machinery delivers approximately £86,000 year-one tax saving. Net effective project cost: £273,000. Annual savings: PV generation £39,500 + diesel-to-EV cost reduction £14,000+ = £53,500. Simple payback 5.1 years after AIA.
Why we deliver as a single project
The Solar + EV Charging Bundle works because all components are designed, procured, and installed as one coordinated project. Single G99 grid connection application. Single monitoring portal. Single set of warranties. Single contractual relationship. Compared to running multiple separate projects, the bundled approach saves £20,000-£60,000 in mobilisation overhead alone.

Common questions
What's the total capex for a typical Solar + EV Charging Bundle?
Varies by farm scale. e chargers + 110 kWh battery. . We deliver fixed-price proposals within 7 working days of receiving meter data.
Can the Solar + EV Charging Bundle be financed?
Yes — asset finance over 5-10 years for the entire bundle is typically EBITDA-positive from month one for installs with strong daytime baseload. PPA available for systems above 250 kW. Capital purchase with 100% AIA for incorporated farms.
How long does the bundle take from contract to commissioning?
Most bundles complete in 6-9 months from contract signature. The longest item is typically DNO G99 grid connection (6-14 months on most rural feeders, running in parallel). Physical install on-site is typically 4-8 weeks.
Is the bundle eligible for AIA tax relief?
Plant and machinery components (panels, inverters, batteries, EV chargers, heat pump units) are 100% AIA eligible up to the £1m annual cap. Building fabric (re-roofing, structural reinforcement) typically isn't but may have other tax treatment. We provide itemised invoices supporting clean accountant claim.
