Power your Farm with Solar

PVGEN UK are proud to bring a bespoke renewable solar energy solution to farmers across the UK. Solar energy can help farmers grow their business sustainably into the future, while improving energy efficiency on farm and reducing bills.

Following a solar system installation, solar energy will help power energy-intensive processes on the farm, reducing the costs of milk cooling, vacuum pumps and water heating. These three processes combined account for around 80% of total milk parlour energy consumption.

PVGEN UK’s solar energy solution is open to all farming sectors and sizes, with customised commercial packages available.

What Our Customers Think

Excellent

4.8 based on 1,200+ reviews on Trustpilot

The installion of our solar panel system went extremely well. The team were very efficient, professional, informative and very pleasant to deal with. I was impressed with how tidy, rubbish and packaging free they left our house and garden when they finished. Our journey from start to finish has been very informative and smooth

SC Ryan

From our initial contact and meeting with Stephen Healy, to our installation and follow up contact with Customer Service, we found PVGEN great to deal with. The installation was done on time and the team were always contactable by phone or email. I would highly recommend PVGen to other customers.

Clareen O’Loughlin

From start to finish everybody was great to deal with. None of the hassle of the grant applications which is fantastic. To the day of install where they were all nice lads and installed in a day, panels on the roof went on super quick and the electricians done a lovely clean tidy job. Cleaned up after themselves and left everything very tidy.

John Young

PVGEN recently completed a solar install on our Dairy farm and we would happily recommend them from our experience. With so many solar companies around now we wanted to make sure we picked one that would do a good job and use good quality components.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does a solar PV system cost?
    The costs of a solar PV system vary depending on the system size and your energy needs. There are different ways to pay for a system, such as a PPA.
    How long does it take to pay for itself?
    Most systems pay for themselves within 4-6 years through electricity savings and export tariffs.
    Do solar panels work in the UK?
    Yes! While some parts of the UK receives more sun than others, in general the UK receives enough sunlight to make solar panels very effective. They work on cloudy days too.
    What is a PPA?
    A Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a contract where a third party (such as PVGEN UK) installs and maintains solar panels on your property for zero upfront cost, and you simply buy the clean electricity they generate at a set rate.
