Farms often have large roof areas on operational buildings, barns and storage facilities with significant energy demand. Solar can provide more predictable costs and better use of on-site assets.
Typical agricultural buildings for solar
- Operational buildings and machinery halls
- Barns and livestock buildings
- Grain storage and cooling facilities
Roof structure, covering type and building usage should always be assessed before selecting a system.
Demand profile and system sizing
Many farms have clear energy loads from ventilation, cooling, feeding and machinery. A well-engineered system is sized against this demand profile.
