 Round 2 of the Improving Farm Productivity Grant for Solar Installations

In early 2024, farmers and horticulturalists are eligible to apply for a grant that supports solar PV projects. This grant aids farming businesses, covering 25% of the costs associated with a Solar PV project. The funding range is set between £15,000 as the minimum and £100,000 as the maximum amount.

The allocated funding is applicable for both roof-mounted and irrigation reservoir-mounted solar arrays, with the condition that the generated power primarily serves the needs of the farming operation. However, it is important to note that the funding is not applicable for ground-mounted solar systems, installations on north-facing roofs, or systems situated in heavily shaded areas.
