UK agricultural solar in 2026
- UK farm electricity spending has risen by 122% since 2021 — solar PV is now the most cost-effective answer for most operations
- Permitted Development covers roof PV on agricultural buildings under Class A of the General Permitted Development Order
- Ground-mount above 9m² requires planning permission and (for arrays above 30kWp) typically a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment
- Sheep-grazed ground-mount preserves Basic Farm Payment status on the affected parcel — KMM designs frames at 1.5m minimum height for this
- The Lincolnshire Rural Business Grant awards up to £40,000 toward capital projects in rural and agricultural businesses across the county
