Agriculture & Land
For farms and landowners, solar is a business decision: a diversified, index-linked income from roofs and land, whether that's powering the operation, exporting to the grid, or leasing land for a larger array.
For farms and landowners, solar is a capital and diversification decision as much as an energy one. Barn and shed roofs can power the operation, surplus can be exported, and larger parcels of land can host ground-mounted arrays or be leased to a developer for an index-linked income.
The variables are the funding and land model, the rural grid connection, and the planning and agricultural-land position — including agrivoltaic options that keep land in production alongside generation. We model the routes as business cases so you can weigh income, risk and use of the asset.
Challenges we help with
- Choosing between self-supply, export and land-lease models
- Grid capacity in rural areas and connection costs
- Planning, agricultural-land classification and agrivoltaic options
How we help
- Model self-consumption versus export and land-lease income
- Assess grid headroom and connection cost early
- Weigh rooftop, ground-mount and agrivoltaic (crops-plus-solar) options

Should we use the power ourselves or export it?
Both are options — and so is leasing land for a larger array. We model self-supply, export and land-lease income so you can compare them as business decisions.
What is agrivoltaics?
Agrivoltaics combines crops or grazing with solar on the same land, keeping it productive while generating income. We assess whether it suits your land and grid connection.
