Background of Solar Farming
One does not have to believe in climate changing myths to
realize that being “Green” sometimes actually pays. In fact, at the moment, it
seems to be the Greener the Better. Take the example of Rapeseed; in the past the crop has been largely functional - and has
not made farmers much money - in recent years it has become hugely profitable. Yields up to £550 per acre have been
reported. Solar Harvesting can offer almost double the returns of Rapeseed
without having to work the land.
What we offer

Why the time may be of essence.
The favorable Grid conditions in your area may not last long as the capacity of the grid constantly changes.
- Solar farm cannot
be built without this spare capacity to accommodate its production. Some times
the capacity may be affected by developments tens of miles away from the site.
It may be crucially important to secure the grid capacity as soon as possible.
- There are
also Macro-economical and Political reasons that may hinder solar farm
development in the future.
