Solar Farming in Elgin
Helping landowners and farmers in Elgin and across Moray turn under-used land into a secure, long-term income from solar.
About the area
Solar & farming around Elgin
Elgin, in Moray, sits within Scotland — a part of the country shaped by generations of farming across lowland arable, Borders pasture and east-coast farmland. Like much of the region, the land around Elgin 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 Elgin 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.

Testimonials
What Elgin-area landowners say
★★★★★
After three difficult harvests we needed a steadier income. The solar lease has given us exactly that, and we still farm the rest of the holding as normal.

From first phone call to signed Heads of Terms they were responsive and realistic about timescales. No silly promises, just solid advice.

They added a battery scheme to our existing site and found a second income stream we didn't know was possible. Genuinely impressed.
★★★★★
Good, plain-English advice from people who clearly understand farming as well as energy. The biodiversity plan even improved our worst field.
