Solar PV and battery storage for farms in wales and the west
Use more of the electricity your farm already needs. Zing Energy designs and installs survey-led renewable energy systems for working farm buildings and operations, with detailed quotations for projects that may be suitable for the Sustainable Agriculture Loan Scheme.
Sustainable Agriculture Loan Scheme status | checked 1 september 2026
The Development Bank of Wales is currently accepting expressions of interest. Its latest information says applications are being processed through a waiting list because of high interest. Funding is limited, and submitting an expression of interest does not guarantee access to funding.
Zing Energy can help assess a potential solar PV or battery-storage project and prepare a detailed quotation. We do not administer the scheme or provide the finance.

Energy Efficiency
and storage
Energy decisions should start with the farm, not a standard package.
A useful farm energy project depends on how your buildings operate, when electricity is used, and what the site can realistically support.
Solar for the work your farm already does.
A useful farm energy project depends on how your buildings operate, when electricity is used, and what the site can realistically support.
More clarity.
Less guesswork.
We make the important project questions visible early, before equipment and costs are presented as a foregone conclusion.
01 / Survey
Start with the site
Roof condition, access, layout, electrical infrastructure and practical installation constraints.
02 / model
Match the load
Use bills and energy data to understand when generation and storage could support your operation.
03 / deliver
See it through
Managed installation, commissioning, documentation and handover, subject to confirmed scope.
Built around
your operation
Different farm businesses have different loads, buildings, and priorities.
The first step is to understand which project, if any, fits your site.
Solar PV for
farm buildings
Roof-mounted generation designed primarily around on-farm electricity use.
Battery
storage
Store renewable electricity for the times your farm needs it, subject to technical review.
Existing
systems
Assess whether an existing solar installation can be extended or paired with storage.
