Solar Hangar solution: photovoltaics in the service of farmers

Photovoltaic is renowned for its positive impact on the environment and its profitability thanks to the savings on electricity bills or revenue from the sale of green energy to the EDF obligation to buy sunny. Both for the benefit of individuals and professionals, solar panels are particularly suitable for farms. Farmers often enjoy large roof surfaces and land spaces that allow the construction of new buildings and the creation of without shadow panels. As a result, the insurance of an optimal return to make profit installations. If you exploit its production of energy yourself or develop its exploitation. In short, the solar hangar stands out as a solution to count on.

Why consider the solar hangar?

If the solar panels thrive on the increasingly single houses on the roof, this means of production of electricity of renewable origin is even better adapted to a specific professional category: farmers. For that? Because farmers are particularly sensitive to environmental issues. But also because they have available spaces to optimize the size of solar installations. And finally, because they are looking for an additional income stable from an obvious perspective of profitability!
If solar installations allow you to reduce their carbon imprint and contribute to ecological effort, photovoltaic customers necessarily ask the question before investing: what profitability is to hope? The installation of photovoltaic panels involves a significant initial investment and it is reassuring to be able to precisely measure your return on investments. In the classification of profitability, the agricultural solar hangar projects occupy a good place.

Significant efficiency

The farms occupy very large spaces and often have large buildings. These areas available on the roof allow you to install solar panels on a much wider scale than those of the individual houses. Furthermore, for a much higher power and surrender. Of course, investing in an electric power plant for a photovoltaic solar hangar is more expensive than the installation of some panels on the roof of a house. But the cost of a photovoltaic installation of several hundred square meters is much lower than that of some tens of square meters, if it is reduced to a power unit. Generally we express the investment in euros by Watt-Crew of installed energy. About 2 euros for Watt-Rête for installations on individual houses, it drops to less than 0.90 euros excl. Set for those from 500 to 1000 square meters and can go below 0.80 euros excl. Set for those of over 2000 m².

The agricultural solar hangar allows you to make the available space profitable

Land and agricultural buildings are sometimes only partially exploited. Therefore, the solar hangar (equipped with roof panels) or the photovoltaic farm (in the installation of earth) are solutions that allow to exploit the unused surfaces. Consequently, with a well -designed and well -conducted solar hangar project, the farmer can make all his exploitation profitable without adding competence or additional work.
The agricultural sector undoubtedly appears as an important actor in the development of photovoltaic energy in France. As an agriculture, it seems wise to look at the question of solar hangar.

Other other solutions are available for you:

1. Your agricultural buildings are worn or obsolete and are taking into consideration a renewal phase at a lower cost. The repair of isolation, the removal of asbestos, the sealing … These works that are essential for the image and the correct functioning of your exploitation, cost dearly. What if you don’t pay them?
2. Do you want to improve your agricultural operation by adding a new building by limiting your investment to a minimum? Take charge of the cost of building a photovoltaic solar hangar by a third party investor who will be paid by the operation of the panels. What is called free solar hangar is an important added value to the legacy of the agricultor.
3. Do you want to earn more money, without weighing down your daily workload or exchange your exploitation of a new investment? You just have to rent the roofs well exposed to a photovoltaic company that will position and use the panels there. Be careful, however, not all the roofs lend themselves!

Discover in detail the different options to take advantage of your farm thanks to the solar, without paying the high price.

Has built a new solar hangar to develop its business

And why not offer up to 2000 m² of an additional land surface, for a new storage or production space? The farmer can be attempted by the project, in order to develop his exploitation. Especially if it is the owner of a vast unused land area.

With this in mind, the solar hangar can be an advantageous solution. Of course, photovoltaic panels represent an additional investment that must be financed, but the income that emerge in the long term allow not only to repay the initial investment, but also to self -propose part of the building itself. In 2018 in France, it takes an average of the equivalent from 10 to 12 years for the investment of photovoltaic panels to an agricultural hangar of several hundred square meters reimbursed, all the costs included (maintenance, insurance, etc.). With a 25 -year -old guaranteed electrical return, this leaves from 12 to 15 years of additional income to pay everything or part of the farm. In the case of simple buildings, the entire Hangar is paid!

The landowners located in south -est from France

The following 3 solutions use roof or building rental devices and are aimed at landowners located in south -est of France.

Make your renovation work financed

Waterproofing problem, asbestos on the roof, bad insulation … Many reasons can encourage – or even force – to repair the roof. Since the roofs of agricultural buildings offer large surfaces, in favor of the installation of powerful and profitable photovoltaic plants, solar companies such as the sunny land are at the service of farmers to find innovative solutions for the benefit of all. Their interest: find well exposed roofs to install and use the signs in the hangars. In return, they propose to finance the renewal work for the coverage of these Hangars. The project is established as part of an emphasiutic lease: the farmer enjoys his renewed photovoltaic solar hangar while the investor manages his photovoltaic power plant, which becomes the property of the farmer after 30 years if he wishes.
In the end, take advantage of a building like nine without spending a euro!

Have a new agricultural hangar built by a photovoltaic company

Please note, if in the past there have been promises of completely free agricultural hangars, they are no longer sustainable today. In fact, the price at which the electricity produced by photovoltaic panels is purchased by EDF or has been divided by 6 since 2009.
The series companies still manage to offer a very advantageous solution. The photovoltaic company pays for its material and financial responsibility for the construction of the frame and coverage of the building. There is therefore responsibility for the agricultor: land works, concrete bases, coating and any internal fittings of the new agricultural building. In exchange for which the photovoltaic company has the right to install and manage its panels in the roof of the building. He is remunerated through the operational income of the Solar plant guaranteeing his maintenance, for a period of 30 years. The project is carried out as part of a 30 -year construction contract. At the end of the lease, the farmer becomes the owner of the entire building. Choose to dismantle the panels by the photovoltaic company or to take their exploitation if it seems profitable.
In the end, you offer you a solar hangar for a reduced investment of at least half.
Take advantage of the know-how of the photovoltaic company to obtain construction permit. But also the management of the site and you have access to the quality of impeccable buildings if you choose the right partner.

Rent your roof and perceive the rent

Do you already have a building covered with a large roof? Cover rental allows you to transform your building into an agricultural solar hangar, in order to benefit from a new source of income. Concretely:

• A photovoltaic company rents the roof to install and use solar panels.
• Every month for the duration of the lease, without investing time, money or skills, you receive the rent.
