Agriculture & farms FAQs
Can it keep the milking parlour running in a power cut?
Yes, with the backup option. We name the critical loads in the design.
We already have solar. Can you work with it?
Yes. Existing solar can be retrofitted onto the DC bus.
How much space does it need?
There's no one-size answer. Each system is designed around your site, inside a building or outdoors, and can be branded to suit.
Is there grant funding?
In most cases, yes, as long as the project meets the scheme criteria. See depotcharging.co.uk for current advice on grants and eligibility.
What could your farm do with a stronger supply?
