INVEST IN SOLAR

Power your farm with solar energy and enjoy some amazing benefits

Solar PV provides a reliable source of renewable energy. It is very cost-effective to self-generate electricity for all your farm needs. Peak performance is from late March to early October which is an ideal technology option for robotic dairy, poultry and pig farms – which are very significant users of electricity.

  • Significantly reduce electricity costs
  • Payback period as low as 4 years
  • Accelerated capital allowances, SEAI & TAMS Grants available
  • Battery systems available
  • Protect against carbon taxes
  • Ground-mounted systems also available

FARM GRANTS FOR SOLAR

Payback in as little as 4 years with the help of grants for farm solar

When you invest in solar pv for your farm you can enjoy a dependable supply of renewable electricity for over 30 years, making it probably one of the best investments that any farmer can make to improve their sustainability credentials.

Solar panels on dairy, beef and tillage farms can now receive grant aid under the Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme (TAMS). 

Dairy, beef and tillage farmers will get full grant support for up to 11kWp ℹ️ of solar pv and 6kWp of battery storage. In addition, with the reference pricing in place, most farmers can secure a 40% grant on their solar pv investment with young qualified farmers getting up to 60% or a 30% BEC grant from the Sustainability Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI).

Energlaze are registered with both the Department of Agriculture and with the SEAI to assist with securing the best grants for your farm business.

Solar panels in Ireland are a smart investment. At Energlaze we use the best technology

BEST TIME TO INSTALL SOLAR

Track the solar energy your panels produce and even get paid for excess energy you don't use

If you generate surplus energy during the day it can be automatically redirected into battery storage, an immersion diverter to heat water – or, back to the grid where you get paid for the excess energy your farm doesn’t use. The VAT rate for solar pv systems is 0%. It’s win-win.
It is a well proven technology with predictable generation over the year, with no moving parts, there are little maintenance costs. Monitor performance via a phone app and get live feedback on energy consumption – which will help you manage your energy costs more effectively.
