Solar for Moray businesses and farms
Food and drink is the biggest sector: Speyside has around 50 whisky distilleries (including Glenfiddich, Balvenie and Macallan, with six working distilleries in Dufftown), Walkers Shortbread (Aberlour and Elgin) and Baxters (Fochabers). Also RAF Lossiemouth, tourism and holiday lets, farming and forestry. Each of these sectors has significant daytime electricity use — from distillery processes and food production to holiday-let laundry and farm workshops. Solar panels and battery storage can help reduce grid reliance and manage energy costs, with systems designed around your actual load profile.
We install through MCS-certified partners and work with businesses across the IV30, IV31, IV32, IV36, AB37, AB38, AB55 and AB56 postcode districts. 0% interest finance available, subject to status. Farms may access up to £30,000 at 0% interest for eligible works, subject to status.
Commercial solar options
Rooftop solar on warehouses, offices and production buildings is usually the most cost-effective route for Moray businesses. Where roof space is limited or unsuitable, ground-mount arrays are an option on sites with available land. We assess your roof structure, orientation and daytime load to design the right system.
Battery storage for peak shaving
For businesses with demand charges or peak-period consumption, battery storage can reduce peak demand by storing cheaper off-peak or surplus solar electricity and discharging it when demand is highest. This is particularly relevant for food production and distillery sites with consistent daytime loads.
Farm solar across Speyside
Farms in Moray often have large shed and outbuilding roofs ideal for solar, plus land for ground-mount arrays. Solar can power workshops, grain storage, dairy equipment and tourism accommodation. Three-phase supplies are common on farms and can support larger systems.
