Solar Power For Agriculture
Running a farm is expensive. We work as your agricultural energy consultant to identify areas for improvement, engineer solutions that cut your energy costs, and future-proof your agribusiness for years to come. From solar panels installed on farm buildings to bespoke energy systems tailored to your land, let’s collaborate to set you up for success.
Lower Operational Overheads
Agricultural solar panels can generate low-cost, self-produced power that reduces your energy costs across the entire business.
Complex Site
Expertise
We custom-design your agricultural solar project to work around your existing layout, factoring in difficult roof angles or land slopes.
Full-Service Management
You’ll receive so much more than just solar panel installation. From design to implementation, our fully certified experts help you to take back control of your energy costs.
Solar panels for farms and agriculture
We understand you’re facing constant pressure from continued rising energy prices. With tight profit margins to begin with and regulatory hurdles that distract from your day-to-day, it can sometimes feel insurmountable.
But you don’t need to go it alone. We help farming businesses like yours to overcome energy challenges with various solar power solutions coupled with energy storage systems for agriculture that address everyday needs and position your business for long-term growth.
That means no more relying on costly grid prices and unsustainable energy limits – you can take back control, future-proof your farm, and see a return on investment in just a few short years.
With complete end-to-end support from the moment you reach out, you’ll always feel supported when working with our energy experts.
How can your agricultural business benefit from solar power?
Unproductive land usage
Do you have land that’s not suitable for planting crops, or storage space that could be better utilised? These areas are often ideal for ground mounted solar farms or rooftop solar, which can bring in an additional revenue stream for your business.
Electrification of Farming
As the price of diesel has risen, the move towards the electrification of farming has grown, but now you are likely facing another challenge: the rising cost of electricity. Solar power is the answer. Keep your machinery going, and your automated systems powered with future-proof technology designed to cut costs.
Automated farm management
Your daily routine on a farm involves a lot of power, used by things like automated milking parlours, feeding systems, and grain handling systems. Move away from grid dependence with holistic solar advice delivered by our hands-on experts.
ESG compliance
Supermarkets and food processors require audited carbon data from their suppliers, and meeting these requirements can be tricky. By switching to agricultural solar power, you lower your carbon footprint and cut unnecessary emissions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are solar panels on agricultural buildings a good investment for modern farms?
Energy costs represent one of the largest overheads for UK agribusinesses. And many farms turn to back-up generators, which are inefficient and costly. Installing solar panels for farm buildings allows you to generate high volumes of low-cost, self-produced electricity directly where it is consumed. By offsetting expensive grid tariffs during high-load operations – such as grain drying, refrigeration, and automated livestock feeding – most farm energy installations deliver a rapid financial payback and provide long-term protection against energy market volatility.
Can solar panels be installed on older farm roofs or uneven agricultural land?
Yes, as part of our services, we can strategise custom installations that overcome most agricultural challenges that you may have. We specialise in bespoke engineering that works around your requirements, and conduct drone surveys to get a comprehensive understanding of what your solar project will entail. Once installed, we act as a complete energy partner and identify other areas of energy savings that could benefit your agribusiness.
Do I need planning permission and grid approval for agricultural solar panels?
Yes you do, and we are here to support you through the process. Ground mounted arrays or large roof installations require local authority planning permission and DNO (Distribution Network Operator) grid approval. Push Power will be your lead consultant, managing the entire planning, regulatory, and grid application process in-house. We ensure your system is fully compliant with UK building regulations, environmental standards, and insurance requirements before construction begins.
How do Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) cut costs for farms?
BESS won’t reduce your energy consumption, but it will reduce the cost of meeting the demands of your operations, and give you much more control over when you buy and use electricity. A battery storage system can turn what was once a fixed operating cost into something you can manage, optimise, and control.
