Solar PV Systems for Irish Farms – Reduce Costs with Battery Storage
Solar PV is one of the most cost-effective upgrades for Irish dairy, beef, poultry and tillage farms. With high daytime energy usage and rising electricity prices, farmers benefit massively from installing solar panels with battery storage for early-morning and evening demand.
- Cut electricity costs for milking systems, cooling tanks and machinery using free daytime solar energy
- Store extra solar power in a battery for morning and evening milking cycles
- Reduce diesel generator usage during grid outages or peak electricity periods
- Improve farm BER and environmental compliance for Bord Bia audits and sustainability requirements
- Increase long-term farm value with a renewable energy upgrade that lowers running costs
Built for Real Irish Farm Roofs
Our high-efficiency monocrystalline panels are ideal for corrugated sheds, parlours and grain stores. Systems are engineered to handle Irish weather, from wet winters to bright summer days.
Solar PV Is Ideal for All Farm Types
Dairy Farms
High daytime usage for cooling tanks and parlours makes solar extremely effective, especially with battery storage.
Beef & Tillage Farms
Large shed roofs provide excellent mounting area for solar panels, reducing long-term electricity costs.
Poultry & Pig Units
Ventilation, heating and lighting systems benefit from stable solar and stored battery power.
Why Battery Storage Makes Sense on Farms
Battery storage allows you to use solar energy when you need it most – not only when the sun is shining.
- Use stored energy for early-morning and late-evening milking
- Cover night-time loads such as lighting, pumps and ventilation
- Reduce exposure to peak electricity tariffs
- Provide backup power for essential equipment during outages
- Increase overall self-consumption of your solar generation
Solar PV and Agriculture Working Together
Ground-mounted solar arrays can complement roof-mounted systems on larger farms, making better use of available land while protecting long-term productivity and energy security.
SEAI Support & Agricultural Solar Grants
Irish farms can benefit from commercial SEAI solar supports and tax incentives.
- SEAI commercial solar support for agricultural buildings
- Accelerated Capital Allowance (ACA) for 100% year-one tax relief on qualifying equipment
- Lower cost of ownership thanks to strong daytime solar generation on farms
