Solar Power for Farms & Estates

Solar & Wind Powered Water Pumps

Solar Pumps, Wind Pumps or a combination of the two can be used for moving water from boreholes, wells, lakes and streams to difficult to reach buildings and fields, for irrigation, livestock and drinking water.

Electric Fencing

From simple stand alone systems through to complicated monitored and engineered systems. Being able to generate electricity locally opens up many opportunities in the areas of security, animal management and providing power to remote areas.

Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA)

Many Renewable Energy investments can be recorded as Enhance Capital Allowance investments on company tax returns.

Micro-Hydro

Micro hydro is suitable for situations where there is a combination of sufficient water flow and 'head' (the height the water drops) to drive a turbine to generate electricity. The output from the system is a product of the two, with some efficiency factors to consider.

Not very much water is needed if the water drops more than 20metres (for example a mountain stream) or very large amounts are needed if the water only drops a few feet (a large river). Please note, not all the water in a stream may be taken for hydro purposes. Typically only up to 50% is allowed and it is necessary to obtain an abstraction license from the Environment Agency.

The system requires an intake for the water, a penstock through which the water is transported to the turbine. The turbine, generator and control gear need to be housed. Hydro can be used for off-grid or grid connected applications.

Free Standing Solar PV Systems

Solar Hot Water (Thermal)In many cases the simpliest solutions are the best. What's simpler then mounting a series of Solar PV Panels (a PV array) on a frame or pole, facing the Solar array towards the sun and starting to generate your own electrical power?

Following the design principle of keeping things simple some of the most cost effective, best performing and most efficient PV systems are based on Free standing Solar PV Arrays. Systems range from small portable PV arrays to power machinery and tools through to ultra efficient, high power Solar PV Trackers.

Solar PV Roof Slates

For Farmhouses, Barns & Outbuildings with slate roofs we can supply Solar PV Roof Slates on wholesale supply or as a fully installed, guranteed, Solar PV systems.
