Why Cork Farmers Should Go Solar with Cronin Solar
At Cronin Solar, we understand the rising energy demands and operational costs that come with running a farm. That’s why we offer tailored Solar PV solutions designed specifically for agricultural use. By switching to solar, Cork farmers can significantly reduce their electricity bills, improve energy efficiency, and gain greater independence from rising utility costs. We’ve helped numerous farms across the county make the transition, and with TAMS (Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme) grants available, it’s now more affordable than ever to invest in renewable energy. Our experienced, local team will guide you through the grant process and ensure a high-quality installation that meets your farm’s specific needs. Support local, save money, and power your farm sustainably with Cronin Solar.
tams 3 Grant: Empowering Cork Farmers with Solar Energy
The Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme (TAMS 3) offers substantial financial support to farmers aiming to adopt renewable energy solutions. Under this scheme, farmers can receive up to 60% grant aid—with a maximum investment ceiling of €90,000—for the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, including panels, inverters, and battery storage . This initiative not only reduces energy costs but also enhances sustainability and energy independence on farms. By generating their own electricity, farmers can significantly lower their carbon footprint and protect themselves against future energy price increases . Applications are submitted through the AgFood.ie portal, and it's crucial to obtain grant approval before commencing any installation work
