17/8/10 - Farmers are looking to Solar PV as their next cash crop as many farms and estates are forced to diversify away from traditional crops inorder to improve revenues.

Solar PV installations are set to increase 1500% in 2010 as a direct result of the feed-in tariffs. Farmers could be one of the largest sectors to benefit from these tariffs. The average barn could generate up to £20,000 /year according to a recent article by the Daily Telegraph (see press coverage). We are receiving many enquiries from farmers with large barns such as chicken sheds as well as those wanting to mount ground systems in paddocks.
