Solar and Farming
Slash Bills, Boost Resilience

Bespoke renewable energy system for agriculture
Why the integration of solar and farming makes sense
Running a farm today, with high energy use for lighting, climate control, machinery and storage, means you’re vulnerable to rising electricity costs and grid instability.
In most cases you can install enough solar panels on farmland to meet your energy needs and sell excess generation back to the grid – even after batteries are full.
Bloom Renewables, with years of experience in solar agricultural and battery systems, helps farms become more resilient, profitable and sustainable.
What we offer
Solar panels + battery storage for farms
Tailored solutions for agricultural energy needs
- High-capacity solar PV installations designed for larger roof surfaces, barns, out-buildings or ground-mounted arrays.
- Battery storage to capture excess generation, provide back-up power during blackouts, and optimise on-farm energy usage.
- Innovative agrivoltaic farming solutions: vertical bifacial ‘solar fencing’ and agrivoltaic farm systems which allow land to be used for both farming & energy generation.
- Farm-centric financing options and guidance to integrate with grant schemes, tax incentives and future-proof your business.
- Local knowledge: operating in Devon and the Southwest, with understanding of rural properties, grid connections and agricultural end-uses.
