Why solar for farms
Irish farms are built for solar
Agricultural electricity costs keep climbing, and most farms already have the one thing solar needs: large, unshaded shed roofs. The biggest win is self-consumption — dairy parlours, bulk tanks, water heating, grain dryers, poultry houses and milking robots all run through daylight hours, exactly when your panels generate most. Your daytime demand lines up with peak generation, so more of every unit you make is used on the farm.
Who it's for
Built for every kind of farm
From dairy parlours to grain dryers, EGR design farm solar around how your operation actually uses power.
Dairy
Parlours, bulk-tank cooling, water heating and milking robots draw power all day — ideal for solar self-consumption.
Beef
Cut the cost of water pumping, yard lighting and handling infrastructure across the herd.
Tillage
Run grain dryers and augers off your own power at harvest — exactly when the bills spike.
Poultry
Ventilation and lighting run around the clock — solar takes a big bite out of the load.
Pig
Ventilation, heating and feed systems make pig units heavy daytime users — perfect for solar.
Mushroom
Climate-controlled growing houses run constant heating and humidity — solar offsets the spend.

Farm solar questions
Agricultural solar FAQs
TAMS, ownership and savings for farm solar.
Is there a grant for farm solar?
Yes — farm solar qualifies for the TAMS 3 Solar Capital Investment Scheme, run by the Department of Agriculture (DAFM), not the SEAI. We handle the full TAMS 3 application for you, subject to approval.
How much is the TAMS grant worth?
TAMS 3 offers a grant of up to 60% on eligible solar, subject to approval and the scheme’s conditions. We’ll confirm the current rate and limits that apply to your farm.
Who can apply for TAMS?
TAMS is for registered farmers — you’ll generally need a herd number and to meet the scheme’s conditions. We’ll check your eligibility before applying.
What is the accelerated capital allowance?
It’s a tax incentive that can let eligible farm businesses write off the cost of qualifying energy equipment against profits more quickly — worth confirming the current details with your accountant.
Do we own the system?
Yes — your solar system is yours outright; it’s a permanent asset for the farm.
How much can a farm save?
It depends on your roof or shed space, your herd and how much electricity you use through the day — we work out your specific figures in a free assessment.
