Solar Farming in Caerphilly

Solar & farming around Caerphilly

Caerphilly, in Caerphilly, sits within Wales — a part of the country shaped by generations of farming across upland pasture, broad river valleys and coastal farmland. Like much of the region, the land around Caerphilly has long been worked for arable and livestock, and that agricultural character still defines the countryside beyond the town today.

It is exactly this kind of farmland that makes Caerphilly and its surrounding parishes well suited to solar farming. Open fields, established field boundaries and a working relationship with the land mean that, where grid capacity allows, solar farms and agrivoltaic schemes can sit comfortably alongside continued agriculture — adding a stable income without taking the land out of the farming community.
