Solar panels have dominated the renewable energy sector for many agricultural clients, often utilising unused roof space to provide clean and lower cost energy. This has been of particular importance in recent years with the large rise in energy costs, especially when farm buildings can be energy intensive. Energy storage can be expensive or not possible, meaning the peak energy generation often doesn’t align with the demands of the farm, such as for running cold stores over winter and spring. Wind turbines could be the solution.
