How solar power is helping UK farmers reduce energy costs, cut carbon and support Scope 1, 2 and 3 goals
From poultry sheds to grain stores and dairy units, solar PV provides dependable on-site power that cuts costs and strengthens energy resilience.
With over a decade of experience in renewable energy, and as part of the Noble Foods Group, Noble Green Energy understands the demands of modern agriculture and delivers solar solutions that work hard for your farm.
Why UK farmers are turning to solar solutions
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.
Powering a lower-carbon, more resilient future for UK farming
Across the UK, farmers are under increasing pressure to cut costs, reduce carbon and demonstrate sustainability progress. Solar power offers a practical, proven way to achieve all three.
For energy-intensive sectors like poultry, where sheds run 24/7 for heating, ventilation and lighting, solar PV makes an immediate difference. Installed on rooftops or nearby land, it converts sunlight directly into renewable electricity — cutting grid use, stabilising costs and improving energy independence.
Reliable power for modern poultry farming
-
Every kilowatt-hour generated on site reduces reliance on the grid and helps protect margins.
-
Typical payback in three to four years – solar continues to deliver savings for decades.
-
For poultry units, summer generation aligns with peak demand, helping maintain bird welfare while reducing operating costs.
“…We understand how important reliable, efficient power is to bird welfare and production. We design systems around each site’s energy use, so farmers see measurable savings and stronger energy security from day one….”

Cutting carbon and supporting Scope 1, 2 and 3 goals
- Retailers and processors increasingly expect suppliers to show progress on Scope 1 and 2 emissions – those 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.

Featured Case Study
Noble Foods North Scarle Solar PV Installation
The Noble Group were looking to cut carbon and energy costs at their North Scarle site.
Noble Green Energy designed and built this array to supplement existing PV. The designer considered the high flood water levels of the site and procured a bespoke mounting system to address this.
All energy produced by this 370kW system is consumed on site. Total site capacity now stands at 520kW. Site generation is expected to be in excess of 416,000 kWh per year, saving over 200 tonnes of carbon emissions, equivalent to around 74,000 HGV road-miles or planting over 9,400 trees.
