In an era marked by surging energy costs and a global push towards sustainability, rural landowners are increasingly considering renewable energy solutions to enhance their properties and finances.



The ideal farm would be using a high amount of electricity or there would be a suitable offtaker that is local to the installation, such as an industrial estate or factory etc – however it is still possible to sell electricity back to the Grid as well



While obtaining planning consent for ground-mounted solar farms on agr...

Dear Terry

I have been so impressed by the installation of my domestic solar panel power generation plant that I thought I would share my experience and feedback with you in case it’s of interest.
