One of the best ways we’ve found to help rural business is through cost-effective, sustainable solar panel installations for farms and other agricultural businesses. Barns and other large outbuildings provide substantial roof space for commercial solar panels.
Solar energy offers a huge range of potential benefits, of which one of the biggest is the opportunity to significantly reduce running costs. In most cases we can reduce the cost of electricity by 30% – 70% depending on usage and available roof space.

The Case for Solar Panels in Agriculture
The gently sloped roofs of a barn are ideally suited to catch the rays of the sun through the day, day in and day out. By installing panels on these roofs, you can significantly reduce your reliance on the National Grid and cut down costs compared to the energy tariff.
When you add in that ability to sell excess energy back to the Grid, the break-even point where solar panels have paid for themselves is very early in their productive lifespan. Exported power can bring in up to 18p per kW (subject to DNO), and after around 4 years this is pure profit.
Go Green Solar Group offer bespoke finance packages, that in most cases are cash positive in the first year.
Example:
| Term | Monthly Payment | Flat Rate | APR | Total Annual Finance Cost | Annual Solar Savings | Net Cash Benefit per Year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 72 Months | £1,305.96 | 4.67% | 8.8% | £15,660 | £24.660 | £9,000 |
| 84 Months | £1,158.29 | 4.6% | 8.7% | £13,896 | £24,660 | £10,764 |
Converting to solar energy also helps significantly with your business’ sustainability. Already a common topic of discussion, businesses which don’t embrace sustainability may come under more criticism over the next few years.
