Independent engineering · Cornwall & Devon
We design generation, storage and backup around the farm’s buildings, land, electrical supply and seasonal workloads.
A farm’s electricity demand can change with seasons and operating schedules. Depending on the site, milking, refrigeration, pumping, workshops or crop handling can create different energy and peak-power requirements. These are examples of loads to assess, not claims that every installation is the same.
We work with agricultural sites across Cornwall and Devon. Start with bills and interval data if available, a list of major loads and their running times, existing generation and future plans. Annual solar generation alone does not show how much can be used on site or whether critical equipment can operate through an outage.
Roof condition, structure, orientation, shade and safe access affect a roof installation. Ground-mounted systems bring land-use, access and planning considerations. Connection and export requirements need checking for the proposed system.
Solar PV on roofs or land →Match charging opportunities to the loads that need supply later. For resilience, define essential circuits and their starting and running power. Batteries, generators and safe changeover equipment must be assessed as a system.
Storage & backup design → · Explore an energy-balance estimate →Distribution across separate buildings, existing electrical condition, controls and future equipment can determine what is practical. We assess the wider infrastructure alongside the proposed energy installation.
Electrical engineering → · Controls →We provide independent advice, design, installation, assessment and rectification. Equipment selection follows the site requirements. We explain the survey scope, costs, connection assumptions and any unresolved work before you decide.
Online calculators provide screening estimates. Agricultural demand, motor starting, three-phase loads and seasonal operating patterns may need more detailed modelling; the calculators do not establish equipment or connection suitability. MCS certification is limited to eligible installations within our registered scope.
