Farm solar panels across Staffordshire
We survey farm and agricultural building roofs throughout Staffordshire, model what each one can carry, and arrange the design, the grid application and the install through our MCS-certified partner.

What the data says about Staffordshire
Modelled yield is not flat across Staffordshire. Tamworth comes out at 857 kWh per kWp a year against 826 at Newcastle-under-Lyme, a spread of 31 kWh per kWp. On a 200 kWp farm array that difference is about 6,200 kWh a year, which is worth checking before accepting a generic saving figure.
Across the districts we cover in Staffordshire the planning record lists 4 ground mounted and 18 roof mounted solar schemes. Ground mounted schemes tell you how the network here has treated field arrays; roof mounted ones are undercounted, because an array on a farm building rarely passes the reporting threshold. Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database, Q1 2026.
Connections across the county run through National Grid Electricity Distribution. Anything above 3.68 kW per phase needs a G99 application, and on rural feeders the incoming supply is often the real limit: a single phase supply caps the array whatever the roof would carry.
