Finance available, go solar with no upfront costs!
Sheffield Renewables designs and installs solar PV and battery storage systems for farms across South Yorkshire. Every system is sized to your energy consumption, installed by our in-house MCS-certified team, and comes with a fixed-price quotation.
Agricultural businesses are among the largest rural energy users. Irrigation pumps, ventilation, refrigeration, grain drying, milking equipment and lighting create steady demand, often during daylight when solar generation is highest.
Solar adoption is increasing across UK agriculture, with 37% of farmers reporting that solar income supports long-term farm viability, highlighting its role in improving farm resilience.

We install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on agricultural roofs and open land across South Yorkshire. Systems are sized to match your farm's recorded energy consumption and designed to maximise generation across all seasons.

Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours to power farm operations such as milking, refrigeration and grain drying, aligning with typical daytime energy demand. Across the UK, 84% of farms with solar install panels on agricultural buildings, reflecting how well farm roofs support on-site generation.
Electricity is used on-site first, reducing reliance on grid supply. In many cases, solar power is cheaper than grid electricity over the system lifetime and provides 25+ years of cost-stable generation.
Where energy use extends beyond daylight hours, battery storage stores excess generation and supplies power during early mornings, evenings or overnight, improving overall energy use across farm operations.
We review your electricity bills, assess roof or land suitability, and record shading, orientation, and structural factors before producing a system design.
Our in-house team handles all installation, commissioning, and certification. We do not use subcontractors. All work meets current G98/G99 grid connection requirements.
We register your system under the Smart Export Guarantee so you receive payment for electricity exported to the National Grid, and provide full system monitoring from day one.

All installations are completed by our MCS-certified, NAPIT-approved team, with an insurance-backed workmanship guarantee. Manufacturer warranties are registered in your name on completion.
Large farm roofs support solar systems, allowing high-capacity generation without affecting use or daily operations on working agricultural buildings.
Field margins and low-yield land are ideal for ground systems. Panels are installed at the best angle for South Yorkshire to maximise annual energy output.
Daytime irrigation aligns well with solar generation, reducing grid reliance and lowering seasonal energy costs across farm operations.
Cold storage requires steady power throughout the day. Solar meets daytime demand, while battery storage supports overnight use at a reduced cost.
Ventilation, heating and feeding systems run all day and night. Battery storage supports overnight demand, helping reduce grid use and improve reliability.
Grain drying is a major energy cost during harvest. Solar and battery storage help offset demand and reduce the cost per tonne processed.
Solar can reduce a significant share of grid electricity use, particularly where energy demand is highest during the day. The exact saving depends on usage patterns, system size and how much energy is used on-site.
