Helping a Dairy Farm Power Up with Solar

Challenge

Farmers today face rising input costs, energy uncertainty, and increasing pressure to diversify income. One dairy farm decided that investing in solar energy was the best way to reduce reliance on the grid and gain control over future costs.

However, timing was critical. Planning delays had already pushed the project back, and the supplier had a tight installation window. The farm needed funding quickly and without disrupting day-to-day operations.

Solution

We worked closely with both the farm and their supplier, coordinating directly with the funder to tailor a finance solution that fit the farm’s cash flow. This approach enabled the farm to secure £143,000 over 5 years for the installation of new solar panels, all within 24 hours from quote to acceptance.

By managing multiple parties and tight deadlines, we simplified a complex process and ensured the project could proceed on schedule.

Result

The investment is expected to pay for itself in just 4 years and 6 months, providing long-term savings and a more sustainable future for the farm.
