Why farms suit Solar PPAs

UK farms have some of the largest available roof areas of any sector (large barns, sheds, livestock buildings), often south-facing, with minimal shading. Available land for ground-mount adds another option.

Many farms also have growing electricity demand from grain dryers, refrigeration (dairy / horticulture), milking parlours, and increasingly EV/electric machinery. Solar PPAs deliver cost reduction immediately.

For NFU members and tenant farmers, Solar PPAs allow the asset to be funded externally — no capital lock-up at the landowner level, no diversification consent issues.
