Agricultural incomes fluctuate depending on many factors. By installing lightweight solar panels, your business is guaranteed to have an index linked income for the next 25 years.
The key benefits for farmers are:
- The farmer will be paid for generating green electricity
- The generated electricity can be used on the farm to reduce costs
- Any excess electricity is exported back to the grid for additional revenue
- Utilises existing roof space, turning it into a valuable asset.
Typically, the return on investment for the farmer is between 12-16% pa with payback in 6-7 years.
There is currently nowhere else to receive that kind of return.
Another factor to be considered is the general rise in electricity prices, currently running at 15-16% per annum; the farmer is protected from these rises. And of course, the carbon footprint of the farm is considerably reduced which can be used for marketing purposes.
With a SKYShades lightweight solar installation a barn roof can now be converted into a revenue generating asset.
