How do people get on with water inside them. Anyone tried harvesting it off the panels?
I popped a pipe through the fence and put a tank in....How do people get on with water inside them. Anyone tried harvesting it off the panels?
But with the price of electricity going crazy, surely they could afford to pay a bit more?Around £900. You wont get anything over £1000 now.
You can push the annual lease price/ac, but the developer will push for a longer Lease. 40 years is not unknown now... used to be 20-25yrs. This may, or may not, be an issue.But with the price of electricity going crazy, surely they could afford to pay a bit more?
TBH, the grazing of some sheep is, or should be surely, a low priority in your negotiations... at least from a financial perspective? Rent will be circa 900/ac... grazing a few sheep is small beer, albeit, it really does feel to be the "correct" thing to do.Does the grazing licence normally get included in the HOT? I'm at the stage of agreeing the HOT and their agent says it's not up to him whether a grazing licence will be available. I can see it may not be worth their while if they have to spend more to make the cabling sheep-proof but it would be a loss to me.
That is a very good rate....the grass quality goes down hill in a solar park we are 7 years in . Our park the rows are narrow quad bike width so they can not use normal sized tractor to top grass so they pay us £100 a acer
to graze and control weeds buy spraying or topping we pay for chems, don't underestimate the cost of control nettles docks thistles.
I wouldn't put it quite like that, but undoubtedly the use of the land for grazing ticks a box for some CouncillorsHopefully landlord will insist on grazing. TBH given the current social mood to solar farms I think pretty much all of them going forwards will be set up for grazing. Seems people are starting to realise how many acres are penciled in for panels and many aren't happy about reducing the amount of food producing acres for substandard electricity generation.
I might be wrong, but I always thought sheep grazing solar parks was more to do with BPS payments and the the site being actively farmed? Without this included, surely the site is industrial use, with the associated extra tax costs etc. I think many solar parks need to be grazed for this reasonI wouldn't put it quite like that, but undoubtedly the use of the land for grazing ticks a box for some Councillors
You are wrong, Its Nothing at all to do with that.I might be wrong, but I always thought sheep grazing solar parks was more to do with BPS payments and the the site being actively farmed?

Nope. Your solar farm is an industrial site for the purposes of inheritance tax and will NOT qualify for APR, it might qualify for BPR if you own and operate the site.I might be wrong, but I always thought sheep grazing solar parks was more to do with BPS payments and the the site being actively farmed?

The lower edge of the panels here make the sheep duck in some instances....Is anyone grazing Solar fields where the panels are at sheep scratching height ?! Any issues ?

No scratching issues that I am aware of here. In fact, no issues from the sheep at all. Some sites have reported the sheep chewing the alarm wire, when it has been strung on the insides of the security fence, again, no issues here.
