Why More UK Farmers Are Turning to Solar

Rising input costs, unpredictable energy markets, and pressure to meet sustainability standards are forcing farms like yours to rethink how energy is managed.

Solar offers a powerful alternative, helping you stabilise your energy costs, reduce long term overheads, and operate more independently from the grid.

At auron, we design bespoke solar systems tailored to your farm’s unique demands, whether you’re running high energy operations like dairy or poultry, managing cold storage units, or overseeing arable land with extensive machinery, our team has a wealth of experience to ensure you turn your energy into an asset.

Switching to solar gives you:

  • Lower operating costs – reduce your electricity bills by up to 70%

  • Predictable energy pricing – protect your margins from rising grid costs

  • Energy independence – store and use your own clean power

  • Grid trading potential – sell excess energy back and generate new income

  • Support for sustainability goals – improve your environmental credentials with customers, buyers, and regulators

Whether you’re powering irrigation, refrigeration, or heavy machinery, auron helps you make the switch to reliable, cost effective, and future ready energy, and in most cases with zero upfront capital required*.

Switching to solar helps your farm:

1. Reduce Energy Costs

Solar energy allows farms to generate their own electricity, reducing reliance on expensive grid power and significantly lowering utility bills.

With predictable energy costs, you can stabilise your operating expenses and allocate resources to other essential areas of your business.

Lowering energy expenses with solar doesn’t just impact your bottom line, it transforms how you plan for the future. With solar, farms can reduce reliance on volatile energy markets, ensuring stability in budgeting and cash flow. This predictable expense gives you the financial freedom to reinvest in equipment upgrades, expand production capacity, or enhance farm operations without worrying about rising electricity costs.

2. Enhance Sustainability

Agricultural businesses are under increasing pressure to adopt greener practices. Solar energy not only helps reduce your carbon footprint, it also demonstrates your commitment to environmental responsibility, appealing to eco-conscious consumers and stakeholders.
Sustainability in agriculture isn’t just a trend, it’s a necessity. Solar energy positions your farm as a leader in environmentally responsible practices, appealing to customers and retailers who value eco-conscious supply chains. By integrating solar, you can market your farm as a sustainable partner, opening doors to new opportunities while positively impacting the planet for generations to come.

3. Achieve Energy Independence

Farms often operate in rural locations where grid power can be unreliable. Solar energy systems, combined with battery storage (BESS), ensure uninterrupted power for essential operations, from irrigation pumps to refrigerated storage, even during power outages.
Reliable power is essential for farms in remote areas, where outages or inconsistent grid energy can jeopardise operations. Solar energy paired with battery storage (BESS) ensures critical systems like irrigation, lighting, and cooling stay operational at all times. By achieving energy independence, you gain control over your farm’s productivity and peace of mind knowing that unexpected grid failures won’t disrupt your workflow.

4. Maximise ROI

By investing in solar, you benefit from long term savings, government incentives, and increased property value. Many farms see a full return on investment within 2-4 years, with decades of reliable power to follow.
Solar is not just a cost saving solution; it’s a financial asset. With government incentives, tax breaks, and energy buyback schemes, your initial investment can start paying off immediately. Over the long term, solar enhances your farm’s market value, offering an asset that contributes to profitability while supporting sustainability goals. Experience stronger stakeholder confidence and increased competitive advantage.

Got Questions? We’ve Got You Covered.

We know solar is a big step, and a smart one. Here are the questions we get asked most by farmers like you:

Most agricultural solar installations take 2–5 days, depending on the size and complexity of your system. We schedule around your operations to ensure minimal disruption, and you’ll be kept in the loop at every stage.

Not at all. We plan each project to avoid interference with key activities like milking, harvesting, or machinery access. Most of the installation is external and handled by our experienced crew with zero impact to your daily routines.

We design your system with seasonal fluctuations in mind. For example, dairy and poultry farms often have consistent demand, while arable may vary. Our solar + battery systems are built to adapt, and we can even allow for future system expansion.

Yes. We offer flexible finance options including Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) and leasing. This means you can get solar installed with £0 upfront, and start saving from day one.

In most cases, agricultural solar installations are permitted development, especially for rooftop systems. Ground mounted systems may require permission depending on size and location, but we’ll advise and handle the paperwork where required.

auron systems are built for durability and designed to run with minimal maintenance. We use high quality components with long warranties (25+ years on panels).
Optional performance monitoring and maintenance packages are available to ensure everything stays in peak condition, and we alert you if anything needs attention.

Yes. If your system produces more energy than you use, you can export the surplus back to the grid and get paid for it. auron can set you up with a grid trading account, so your system becomes not just a saver, but a revenue generator.

You can make money from solar in two ways:

  1. By reducing your energy bills (up to 70%)

  2. By earning from grid export when your system produces more than your farm uses

Over time, many farms see their system pay for itself in just a few years, and continue to generate pure profit for decades.
