Solar Farming in Wakefield
Helping landowners and farmers in Wakefield and across West Yorkshire turn under-used land into a secure, long-term income from solar.
About the area
Solar & farming around Wakefield
Wakefield, in West Yorkshire, sits within Yorkshire & the Humber — a part of the country shaped by generations of farming across broad arable vales, chalk wolds and low-lying Humber farmland. Like much of the region, the land around Wakefield 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 Wakefield 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 Wakefield-area landowners say
★★★★★
We graze our ewes between the panels now — the agrivoltaics setup means we kept the land farming and added solar on top. Best decision we've made in years.
★★★★★
The feasibility study paid for itself. It flagged a grid constraint we'd never have spotted and saved us chasing a scheme that would never have connected.
★★★★★
Straightforward people to deal with. The rent is index-linked so it keeps pace with costs, and the land comes back to us in better heart than it went in.
★★★★★
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.
