Commercial solar panels are a fantastic way to reduce your farm's reliance on more costly traditional energy sources.

Commercial solar panels let you harness the power of the sun and convert it into cost-saving energy to use on your farm. By installing them on the unused space on your barns, outbuildings, or fields, you can slash your energy bills and become financially independent - all while shrinking your business’s carbon footprint!
Purchasing outright:
According to research from the ECIU, farmers that do not use commercial solar energy are missing out on up to £1 billion in energy savings over two years. That’s a lot of money going to waste!
By investing in commercial solar with a standard purchase system, you can reduce your energy by 30-60% - this translates to hundreds in savings per year, especially for farms with high energy demands for cooling, heating, processing and pumping slurry and dirty water.
Solar energy is a clean and renewable source of power. By utilising commercial solar panels, you can reduce your farm’s carbon footprint and play your part in the fight against climate change.
If you are a dairy farmer, on a PPA contract making the swap to a 100kw solar panel system could save around £80 per cow per year! On an average herd size of 200 cows that’s a possible saving of £16k per annum.
Embracing solar energy also demonstrates a commitment to sustainable farming practices, which can improve your farm's reputation and reduce your carbon footprint. This is especially important considering the growing consumer demand for environmentally responsible agriculture.
ProStar Energy are the leading specialists in commercial solar energy for farming and agricultural businesses. Our qualified team have designed, supplied, and installed commercial solar PV systems for farms across the South, giving us an in-depth understanding of various farming needs and energy requirements. Whatever the format of your agricultural building, you can rely on us to install a high-output, visually appealing system that performs exactly as you need it to.
At the beginning of our process, you will work with our farming specialist, an ex-ruminant nutritionist dairy consultant, who will take a deep dive into your farming operations and practices. In doing this, we will get to understand your unique energy needs. This will create a detailed business report that will be shared with our teams to design and install a custom-made solar panel system that will generate the energy you need to keep your farm running smoothly whilst also reducing your bills.
All of our workmanship is covered under a 2-year warranty. In the unlikely event of a fault or breakdown, you can have peace of mind that all your repair fees will be taken care of.
We offer two main types of solar panel purchasing options: Standard and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Standard simply involves paying for the system out of pocket, whilst PPAs are a little more complex.
Solar panel installations usually require an upfront cost that farmers often find unaffordable. However, a Power Purchase Agreement provides an alternative to paying for your new system outright.
A PPA is a long-term agreement between two parties, usually a power producer and a customer (you, in this case). The producer takes care of everything from obtaining permissions to operating and maintaining your new system, usually at little-to-no cost to you.
Whilst under the contract, you get to enjoy up to a 30% reduction in your energy bills thanks to the savings from your utility provider. At the same time, the producer earns income by selling the electricity generated by the solar PV system. These contracts typically last for a longer period (typically around 10 to 25 years), giving you long-term stability and peace of mind.
When the contract comes to an end, you can choose to have the system removed if you no longer need it, extend the PPA agreement if you're still happy with the arrangement, or even purchase the energy system outright.
