Solar power for farms, landowners & agricultural businesses
Take advantage of under-utilised land or roof space on your farm.
From poultry sheds to grain stores and dairy units, solar power provides a dependable on-site energy source that cuts costs and strengthens market resiliences whilst allowing you to optimise underutilised land or roof space.
Backed by the Noble Foods Group’s deep agricultural heritage and over a decade of renewable energy expertise, Noble Green Energy delivers solar solutions built for modern farms.
Why UK farmers are switching to solar
Cut energy costs
Solar PV can reduce your farm’s reliance on grid electricity by 30–50%, helping you take control of rising energy bills.
Lower carbon emissions
Generate clean power on site to support Scope 1 and 2 reduction goals and make your produce more attractive to buyers focused on Scope 3 performance.
Maximise tax efficiency
Claim capital allowances to cut taxable profits, accelerate your payback, and invest in the future of your farm.
Green Energy for Farms & Agriculture
Powering a lower-carbon future for UK farming
Across the UK, farmers are under increasing pressure to cut costs, reduce carbon emissions, and demonstrate progress in sustainability.
Solar power offers a practical, proven way to achieve all three:
-
Reduce reliance on the grid and help protect margins
-
Typical payback in three to four years
-
Summer generation aligns with peak demand
-
Supports a variety of agricultural operations
-
Meet increased energy demand without overexposure to grid volatility
Solar for dairy, pig and poultry farms
Energy-intensive livestock operations rely on continuous heating, ventilation and lighting. Solar panels for farm roofs or nearby land can directly offset this constant demand, improving energy independence and long-term cost control.
Solar for arable farms
Arable farms benefit from solar panels because peak energy demand during harvesting and crop drying often coincides with the highest solar generation months, reducing grid imports during the most power-intensive periods.

Supporting Scope 1, 2 & 3 goals
- Retailers and processors increasingly expect suppliers to show progress on Scope 1 and 2 emissions from farm operations and purchased energy.
- Solar PV directly reduces these by replacing grid electricity with clean, on-site generation.
- Energy savings can support wider sustainability goals, from biodiversity and low-carbon equipment to regenerative farming and diversification.
- It’s a simple, measurable way to strengthen your farm’s environmental credentials and support Scope 3 supply chain targets.
