For decades, farmers have been experts at harnessing and utilizing solar energy. Almost every form of agriculture makes use of the sun, efficiently converting the energy to forms of energy we require for survival. Rising electricity costs have added to the escalating overheads affecting UK farmers and the profitability of their businesses in recent years. It should come as no surprise, then, that farmers and landowners in the United Kingdom are beginning to recognize the potential of using unused solar panel roof space for farm buildings or parcels of relatively unproductive land. These are ideal for solar PV installations that allow you to generate your electricity, reduce fuel costs, and potentially generate an additional income stream to support your business. Many solar farmers are already reaping financial benefits from this technology.
