Perthshire farm solar from the Carse of Gowrie to the uplands

A county of contrasts

Perth and Kinross covers rich lowland ground and high hills. The Carse of Gowrie between Perth and Dundee is known for soft fruit and orchards, Strathearn and Strathmore grow cereals and potatoes, and the upland glens carry hill sheep and suckler cows. Estates and diversified farms add tourism, sporting lets and retail.

Roofs, steadings and ground

Lowland farms often have modern grain stores and packhouses that suit panels. Hill farms may have smaller sheds and stone steadings, some listed. Parts of the county fall within the Cairngorms or Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Parks, where planning needs extra care.

Grid connection

Daytime demand

Fruit cooling, grain handling, livestock water, workshops and visitor accommodation all suit solar generation and battery storage.

Perthshire soft fruit businesses often house seasonal workers on site, adding lighting, cooking and hot water demand through summer. Combined with fruit cooling and irrigation, this gives a strong daytime load profile that a roof or ground-mount array can match closely.
