Solar Energy UK: empowering farmers and securing the future of agriculture
As a member of Solar Energy UK, we’re proud to support its work sharing best practice and success stories from across the UK. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing videos from its latest series looking at how solar can support farming businesses and biodiversity, while powering homes and businesses across the UK.
The first video looks at the way solar is transforming farming across the UK. Having developed, built and designed over 40 solar farms in the UK so far, we have seen first-hand how solar is delivering what matters most: allowing farming to continue.
For many farmers, the initial doubts about signing long-term leases have given way to confidence and optimism. As one farmer in the video shares: “the attractiveness of solar was really having a steady income whilst allowing you to carry on farming… its allowing you to become a better farmer.”
By using less productive land for solar, farmers can secure their legacy for future generations and keep growing food for the country. Across the board, the message is clear: solar isn’t replacing farming, it’s helping it thrive.
At PS Renewables, we’re proud to support this transition, ensuring clean energy powers homes and businesses while strengthening UK agriculture. Solar energy is not just about sustainability – it’s about resilience, opportunity and a brighter future for farming.
