Renewable Energy for Modern Agriculture

Agricultural buildings offer significant potential for on site renewable generation. Farms increasingly require low carbon energy to support food production, storage, processing and electrification of equipment.

BIPVco delivers integrated solar solutions that respect the functional and visual requirements of rural buildings while maximising energy output.

These solutions help farms reduce operational emissions, cut energy costs and contribute to a sustainable, Net Zero future for agricultural operations.

Our lightweight panels can be mounted onto barn roofs and storage units where conventional, rigid panels would be too heavy for the roof to carry their load.

Farm buildings
  • Reducing Costs and Improving Self Sufficiency
    On site generation helps farms reduce energy costs and improve resilience against price volatility. BIPV can support electrification of machinery, cold storage, irrigation and emerging technologies.
  • Sensitive Integration in Rural Settings
    Our building integrated approach minimises visual impact compared to bolt on systems. This is particularly valuable in sensitive landscapes where planning considerations are paramount
  • Supporting Sustainable Farming Futures
    BIPV contributes to lower operational emissions and supports grant funding, diversification strategies and long term sustainability of agricultural enterprises
  • Delivering power to off-grid locations
    Power remote devices and machinery for essential uses such as lighting, heating, security systems and farming kit.

Powering Security Where You Need It Most

Agricultural sites can cover large areas, with barns, livestock buildings, storage facilities and remote outbuildings often located well away from the main farm infrastructure. Providing reliable power to these locations isn't always straightforward — but security can't be compromised.

BIPVco's lightweight, flexible solar technology can provide a discreet source of power for remote security, monitoring and lighting systems, helping agricultural businesses protect their property, livestock and equipment without relying solely on a mains electricity connection.

Helping Protect What Matters

Agricultural theft is a growing concern, with machinery, tools, fuel and valuable equipment all potential targets. Remote buildings and isolated areas can be particularly vulnerable, especially where there is limited lighting or no permanent electrical supply.

Solar-powered systems can support:

  • CCTV and remote security cameras
  • Motion detection and security lighting
  • Remote monitoring and alert systems
  • Livestock monitoring technology
  • Barn and outbuilding lighting
  • Gates, access control and other low-power equipment
  • Off-grid communications and connected devices

By generating power directly from the building or structure, BIPVco can help bring reliable energy to locations where extending traditional electrical infrastructure may be impractical or costly.

Solar That Works Around Your Farm

Agricultural buildings don't always have simple, conventional roofs. Large barns, curved structures, lightweight buildings and buildings with limited load capacity can all present challenges for traditional solar installations.

BIPVco's lightweight, flexible thin-film solar technology can offer an alternative approach, with systems designed to integrate with suitable roofing and building structures while minimising additional structural loading.

The result is solar designed not simply to generate electricity, but to support the wider operation, security and resilience of the agricultural site.

Power your farm. Protect your assets. Keep your operation connected.

Security Beyond the Farmhouse

A camera is only useful if it can operate where it is needed. Remote agricultural buildings can be difficult to monitor when there is no convenient electrical supply.

Integrating lightweight solar directly onto suitable roofs provides an opportunity to create self-powered security points, supporting cameras, sensors and communications equipment around the farm.

From a remote barn or machinery store to livestock areas and access points, solar can help keep critical systems operating without the need for extensive cabling or new electrical infrastructure.

Lighting Remote Agricultural Buildings

Good lighting can make a significant difference to safety and security around agricultural buildings.

Solar power can support lighting in areas such as:

  • Remote barns and storage buildings
  • Machinery and equipment areas
  • Livestock buildings
  • Farm entrances and access roads
  • Loading and unloading areas
  • Workshops and outbuildings

With the right system design and energy storage, lighting can be available when it is needed most — including during the hours of darkness when isolated buildings can be at greatest risk.
