Solar designed for working farms.
Know exactly what your agricultural solar asset is generating, saving, and earning — every single month.
Already have solar? You may not know how it's performing.
Many farms installed solar between 2012 and 2020. These systems represent significant capital — but without active monitoring, there's no way to know if output has degraded, if an inverter is developing a fault, or whether the system is still delivering the savings it was designed to. NOEM connects to your existing system and starts reporting within weeks. No new installation required.
Why solar PV is a natural fit for agriculture.
Farming operations are uniquely positioned to benefit from solar energy. Large, unshaded barn roofs offer the perfect canvas for solar panels, while intensive machinery, refrigeration, and crop processing create massive daytime energy demands.
By generating your own electricity directly, you dramatically lower your reliance on volatile commercial grid tariffs. Because power is generated during peak daylight hours—precisely when crop dryers, cooling fans, and dairy operations run hardest—your self-consumption rate remains exceptionally high.
Typical Agricultural Metrics
We manage the agricultural complexity.
Legacy & Complex Roofing
We understand agricultural roofs. When inspecting or repairing panels, we work safely on legacy structures including complex metal cladding.
Three-Phase Networks
Farms rely on high-capacity three-phase distribution. We test and monitor the entire electrical path from inverter to grid connection.
Fault Resolution
When our monitoring detects a fault, our qualified electricians diagnose and repair the issue, recovering lost yield quickly.
Which farming buildings are suitable?
Grain Stores
High summer ventilation & drying loads.
Dairy Units
Intense, constant 24/7 refrigeration demand.
Poultry Sheds
High cooling and feeding energy profiles.
Machinery Stores
Ideal expansive south-facing roof layouts.
Polytunnels / High Glass
Ancillary pump and utility demands.
Open-Sided Barns
High-area structural mounting candidates.
Our end-to-end delivery process.
System Audit
Daniel and James visit your farm to inspect your existing solar setup, inverters, and wiring.
Hardware Connection
We integrate with your existing monitoring, or retrofit our own hardware if none exists.
Data Calibration
We calibrate the platform to your system's specifications to ensure accurate reporting.
Financial Reporting
You start receiving monthly reports detailing exact earnings and savings.
Active Monitoring
We watch your system remotely, ready to alert you if performance drops.
Maintenance Prioritisation
When faults are detected, we schedule targeted maintenance to protect your yield.
Placeholder Farm, Gloucestershire
A complete rooftop installation across two high-span agricultural barns on an active arable farm in Gloucestershire. The client wanted to utilize their vast, unshaded south-facing roofs to cover their high seasonal daytime energy demand, particularly from grain drying and machinery operations.
