A farm in the south of England required a roof-mounted solar PV system to offset electricity consumption and reduce long-term operational energy costs. With consistent daytime demand across agricultural processes, the site presented a strong opportunity for on-site renewable generation.
Myriad designed and delivered a 130 kWp commercial solar PV installation, optimised to align generation with farm energy usage and provide measurable carbon reduction.

The Client & Requirements The client required a solar PV system to reduce grid electricity dependency and offset energy usage across agricultural operations. With consistent daytime demand and large roof space, the site was well suited to on-site renewable generation aligned with operational activity. A key objective was to deliver long-term cost savings while improving sustainability credentials. The client also required a reliable, turnkey solution delivered with minimal disruption to ongoing farm operations.
Key Challenges The project was delivered within a live agricultural environment, requiring careful coordination to ensure installation works did not interfere with daily farm activities. Maintaining safe access, managing materials, and sequencing works around operational requirements were key considerations. Ensuring a robust installation suitable for agricultural conditions and long-term reliability was also essential.
