The Installation
Our expert team installed a 32 kWp solar PV system onto the fibre-cement barn roof, ensuring minimal disruption to farm operations. Every component was selected to maximise efficiency and durability, critical for agricultural environments.
The solar panels were positioned to achieve optimal sun exposure throughout the year, ensuring consistent energy generation to meet the farm’s needs.
Key benefits of the Tilham Farm installation:
- Reduction in grid energy reliance
- Long-term protection against rising electricity prices
- Increased sustainability and lower carbon footprint
- Improved energy independence
