Commercial Solar Power Purchase Agreement opportunity for farms in the RG22 postcode area. Site-specific irradiance and indicative economics.
The RG22 postcode area contains approximately 4 commercial farms in public registers (CQC, NDEPC, OS / Companies House data). UK Solar Fund funds and operates commercial Solar PPAs for farms across this region — zero upfront capital, 20-40% off grid electricity, full O&M included for 10-25 years.
UK farms have some of the largest available roof areas of any sector (barns, livestock buildings, sheds) plus available land for ground-mount. Solar PPAs deliver cost reduction without capital lock-up.
EU JRC PVGIS modelling for the RG22 postcode area shows annual solar yield of 857 kWh per kWp installed per year — right at the UK average.
Farm solar can be rooftop (60-1,000 kWp on barns/sheds) or ground-mount (1-10+ MWp on grazing/marginal land). Many farms combine both.
| Site profile | Typical kWp | Estimated saving |
|---|---|---|
| Small farm (barn rooftop) | 60-150 kWp | £8,000-£20,000 / yr saving |
| Mid-size farm (multiple buildings) | 150-500 kWp | £20,000-£68,000 / yr saving |
| Large estate / ground-mount | 1-5+ MWp | £140,000-£700,000+ / yr saving + lease income |
Farms typically have the right profile for a Solar PPA — large available roof or land area, daytime electricity demand, and an operating model that benefits from cost reduction without capital lock-up.
