Overview
Every panel here earns its place.
We designed Fairfields Farm’s system on data, not guesswork. The goal was simple: cut energy costs, free up capital, reinvest in the business.
Then the SolarEdge C&I platform changed the conversation.
For the first time, the team can see their energy the way they see their crops — clearly, panel by panel. Where it’s generated. When it’s used. What it’s worth.
That visibility does something powerful. It lets a business reshape its day around the sun. Run the heavy jobs when generation peaks. Waste less. Own more.
Solar started as a cost saving. It became a smarter way to run the farm.

System Components
DMEGC Bi-Facial Solar Panels: The installation uses premium DMEGC solar panels, known for their excellent efficiency and sleek aesthetics.
SolarEdge Power Optimisers: Each panel is equipped with a SolarEdge power optimiser, which enables individual panel monitoring and performance optimisation. This technology mitigates the effects of partial shading and ensures maximum energy harvest from each panel.
SolarEdge Synergy Inverter: The system features SolarEdge inverters, which work with power optimisers to convert DC electricity from the panels into AC power for home use. This inverter is designed for seamless integration with the SolarEdge ecosystem, including the battery storage system.
Doncaster PV Ultra Cabling: PV-Ultra cables are engineered explicitly for DC installations in photovoltaic systems. Designed with high-quality materials for an anticipated lifespan of about 25 years and can operate at average maximum conductor temperatures of 90°C, with short-term tolerance up to 120°C.
NexBlue EV Chargers: This site invested in a fully integrated NexBlue EV Charging infrastructure that works seamlessly with the SolarEdge C&I One platform.
