questions

Yes. Battery storage is an eligible cost under the Solar Capital Investment Scheme within TAMS 3, allowing farms to store excess solar energy and increase self-consumption.

The maximum grant amount depends on your farm type, eligible items, and the investment caps set under TAMS 3. Grant support is calculated based on approved costs. SOLARspan can help you assess your project and estimate the maximum support available before you apply.

In most cases, rooftop solar installations do not require planning permission. However, ground-mounted solar arrays or larger systems may require approval. SOLARspan will advise you and support you through any planning requirements.

TAMS 3 is a standalone agricultural support scheme. However, solar investments can still benefit from tax efficiencies and long-term energy savings. SOLARspan will explain how your solar project fits within the wider financial picture for your farm.

No. Solar installations are planned to minimise disruption, with most rooftop systems installed while normal farm activities continue. Our team schedules work around your operations.

Output depends on roof space, system size, and energy usage patterns. Even in Ireland’s climate, solar panels perform reliably year-round and can significantly reduce daytime electricity costs.

SOLARspan supports farmers through system design, eligibility checks, grant guidance, and installation coordination. We simplify the process so you can focus on running your farm while progressing your solar project with confidence.
