Overview
In February 2025, ProStar Energy was commissioned by Chris Moore, a Banbury-based farmer, to supply and install a 42 kW solar PV system across multiple farm barn roofs. With increasing energy costs and a strong focus on sustainable operations, Chris sought a reliable and experienced solar provider to help reduce his carbon footprint and improve his farm's energy efficiency.
ProStar's team conducted a thorough on-site survey and proposed a high-efficiency system designed to maximise roof space and optimise energy generation throughout the year.
