Solar Photo-Voltaic Systems

For Grain Stores

   + other Farm Buildings

• Cooling Grain? — The ambient air temperature inside the store should be as cool as possible to optimise crop cooling.
• Solar Panels — Use the sun's light and heat to generate electricity, which would otherwise warm up the air inside your grain store.
• Solar Panels generate electricity, which the farmer can use FREE (and be paid for it) and sell the surplus to the Grid.
• Feed-In Tariffs — “Live” since April '10, to help kick-start UK's renewable energy industry, 25 year contract... currently very attractive.
• Return on Investment in 8-12 years — 12% return on capital, with a 20 - 25 year life expectancy... which looks very attractive.
• Taxation & Pension Benefits — With the rise in crop prices, capital write downs, Higher Tax Rate benefits etc... is this a window of opportunity?

Main Farmer Benefits

1. Even better grain store management (and at lower cost).
2. Generate an income stream from an otherwise under-utilised farm space.
3. Make a contribution to renewable energy targets + reduce farm carbon footprint.
