Solar PV and Battery Storage at Ilkley Farm

Solar PV at Ilkley Farm
Using Solar PV and battery storage to save this Ilkley farm money, improve sustainability and future proof operations

Services: Commercial solar panels and battery storage for Ilkley based property.

Problem

Operating a dairy farm is energy-intensive, with annual consumption reaching 150,000 kWh. The farm’s owners were determined to cut costs, improve sustainability, and future-proof their operations against rising energy prices. They turned to us for a solution that would deliver significant savings without compromising reliability.

Solution

We designed a bespoke system to match the farm’s high demand:

  • 240 x 650W Solar Panels strategically installed to maximize generation.
  • 80kW Sigenergy Inverter for efficient energy conversion.
  • 144kWh Sigenergy Battery Storage to store excess energy and provide power when needed.

Sigenergy technology was chosen for its market-leading safety standards, customer-friendly design, and advanced AI system that automatically optimizes performance.

Result

The installation is projected to generate 115,000 kWh per year, covering the majority of the farm’s energy needs. With battery storage ensuring consistent supply, the farm can rely less on the grid and more on its own renewable energy.

  • Annual Generation: 115,000 kWh
  • Payback Period: 5 years
  • Key Benefits: Significant cost reduction, improved sustainability, and enhanced energy independence.

For the farm, this project represents more than just savings — it’s a step toward long-term resilience. By harnessing solar power and intelligent battery storage, they’ve reduced their carbon footprint while securing predictable energy costs for the future.
