Large roof areas, agricultural buildings are ideal locations for Solar PV and Solar Thermal systems. They are easily installed and need little or minimal ongoing maintenance. For agricultural operations with a high energy requirement, such as refrigeration units, poultry housing, milking parlours, grain storage etc. matching this usage to the daytime generation maximises energy efficiency, so reducing the additional cost of importing energy from the grid. Battery storage also provides new opportunity for farmers to store excess energy to use as required.
