☀️ THINKING ABOUT SOLAR FOR YOUR FARM?

Before looking at how many panels you could fit on the roof, there are a few important things to consider (and we'll help you assess all of these things).

⚡ Your electricity usage – How much energy does your farm use, and when is that energy being used?

🚜 Available space – Could your existing buildings provide suitable roof space, or could ground-mounted solar be an option?

🔧 Your future plans – Are you planning new buildings, expanding your operations or adding equipment that could increase your electricity demand?

Every farm is different, which is why there's no one-size-fits-all solar solution.

At Russells Renewables, we look at the building, the site and how your farm operates to help establish what could work for you.

Get in touch with our team to explore the possibilities. We'll give you a no-obligation quote. Take a look at our website for more information www.russellsrenewables.co.uk

☀️ When does your farm use the most electricity?

It might seem like the obvious starting point for solar is simply looking at how much electricity your farm uses.

But when you use that electricity matters too. From milking and refrigeration to grain drying, ventilation, lighting and machinery, agricultural businesses can have significant energy demands throughout the day.

Understanding your electricity usage patterns can help build a clearer picture of whether solar could work for your farm and how much of the energy you generate could potentially be used on site.

That’s why we look beyond the roof when considering a solar installation. The right system needs to make sense for the building, the site and the way your farm operates.

A year after Russell’s Renewables designed and installed this 85 kWp solar PV system, it’s performing as planned – with the farm’s irrigation requirements covered and surplus electricity being exported to the grid.

The system was designed around the farm’s actual energy use, including significant electricity demand for 24/7 water pumping during the irrigation season.

Rather than adding battery storage, our analysis showed that a larger solar PV system was the better fit for the farm’s needs.

The result:

☀️ 85 kWp solar PV
⚡ 70,400 kWh predicted annual generation
💷 5 years 4 months original payback period
📈 Surplus generation exported to the grid for additional income through SEG payments

And our support didn’t stop when the installation was complete. The customer has continued to work with the Russell’s Renewables team, including discussions around energy tariffs.

“They’ve been excellent and the system has performed perfectly for our requirements.”

📆 One year on: how solar is performing for this Nottinghamshire farm

What happens after the solar panels are installed?

For this Nottinghamshire arable farm, the answer has been very positive.

A year after Russell’s Renewables designed and installed the 85 kWp solar PV system, it continues to perform as planned – and our team has remained in contact with the customer beyond installation, including discussions around energy tariffs.

For us, the relationship doesn’t end when the installation is complete. We’re here to support customers as their energy needs develop.

We’re pleased to have joined the Farm Retail Association as a supplier member.

Farm shops and farm retail businesses have their own energy demands, and understanding how a business uses electricity is an important starting point when considering renewable energy.

As part of our FRA membership, we’re offering members a free assessment of their property, including a renewable energy proposal tailored to their requirements, along with support with the grid application process.

As part of Russells, we already understand the practical needs of farming and rural businesses. We’re looking forward to connecting with more farm retailers through the Farm Retail Association and helping businesses explore whether renewable energy could work for them.

Your business premises could be doing more than keeping the rain out. ☀️

For many businesses and farms, the roof of a building is simply unused space.

Solar PV offers a way to put that space to work by generating electricity on site.

Whether it's a commercial building, agricultural premises, workshop or other suitable property, a roof-mounted solar system can turn an otherwise unused area into part of your energy strategy.

And you're not changing what the building is used for - you're simply making better use of the space you already have.

Got a large roof that's currently doing very little? It could be worth looking at what solar could do for you.

Solar isn't just about putting panels on a roof. ☀️

The panels are the part you see, but there's a lot more behind a well-designed commercial solar PV system.

From the initial site assessment and system design through to installation and getting everything working together, every part of the process matters.

The aim is to create a system that's appropriate for the building and the way the business operates, rather than simply installing as many panels as possible.

At Russells Renewables, we take a complete approach to commercial solar PV, helping businesses and farms make the most of their available space and generate their own electricity.

Thinking about solar? Start with the whole system, not just the panels.

Planning solar for your business? Don't just think about today.

Your electricity requirements today might not be the same in five or ten years' time.

Perhaps you're planning to expand your operations, add new equipment, increase production or move towards greater electrification.

These changes can all affect how much electricity your business needs and how useful a solar PV system could be.

That's why it's worth considering your future energy requirements when you're planning a solar installation, rather than designing a system based solely on today's usage.

A good solar investment should fit into your longer-term plans, not just solve today's energy requirements.

Could your farm buildings be generating your own electricity? ☀️🌾

Farms can have something many businesses don't: significant roof space across agricultural buildings.

That space could potentially be used for solar PV, helping generate electricity on site for the farm's own energy requirements.

Whether it's a large agricultural building, workshop or other suitable premises, the starting point is understanding the building, the available space and how the farm uses electricity.

Every farm is different, which is why solar needs to be designed around the individual site.
