Maximising the productivity of every acre of farmland is key, but many farmers have forgotten about their roofs! With large sheds, the potential for large scale electricity generation is huge.
We’ve worked with dairy, livestock and arable farmers across Ireland to power their operations with free energy from the sun. Ground mounted panels can also be installed, giving farmers the ability to double production from their land while providing shelter for crops or grazing animals.
With over 1,800 installations across Ireland and Northern Ireland, our team have secured energy independence for hundreds of people across County Cavan. Get in touch with us today to arrange a free quote from our farm energy expert.

Solar panel systems are best suited to being installed on south-facing roofs. East and west-facing roofs can also support solar panel installations but north-facing roofs will not be appropriate. Flat roofs can have solar panels installed, as long as there are no obstructions on the roof that prevent the solar panel system from being installed. In some circumstances, solar panels can be installed on the ground. We will advise you on the options that are available to you during your free quote. We can advise on the suitability of your current building for solar panel PV installation.
Solar panels typically last around 25 to 30 years. Whilst panels will continue to produce electricity past this point, their efficiency will decline over time. However, with regular cleaning and inspections, you can help to extend the lifespan and efficiency of the system.
The installation of solar panels on domestic properties in Ireland is exempt from planning permission. They are now counted as a ‘permitted development’. There are some exemptions, such as for listed buildings and in conservation areas.
Solar panels are incredibly low maintenance, all they require is cleaning and an occasional professional inspection.
