Farm investment support and permit applications – solar energy investment step by step

A solar power system is one of the most effective ways for farms to increase energy self-sufficiency, reduce operating costs and support more sustainable production. A farm solar power system provides long-term benefits by stabilising energy costs, generating savings and improving the predictability of production costs.

​

Electricity generated by solar panels can be used directly in agricultural production, which can significantly improve the financial viability of the investment. A solar energy investment can also strengthen the farm’s competitiveness and sustainability profile.

Every farm is different, which means the profitability of a solar energy investment must always be assessed individually. We analyse your farm’s electricity consumption and production needs and prepare calculations to support informed investment decisions.

​

Envitecpolis can manage the entire solar energy investment process on your behalf, from planning and investment support applications to the required permit procedures. Farm investment support and permit applications require specialist expertise, as the investment is generally eligible for support only to the extent that the energy produced is used in agricultural production.

​

Investment support may cover up to 40% of eligible costs. We assess eligibility and prepare the necessary documentation for the relevant ELY Centre. We also check any permit requirements set by the local municipality and, where necessary, prepare and submit the required notifications or applications to the authorities.

Solar Start is an effective way to begin a solar energy investment in a structured and well-informed manner. We arrange competitive tendering between equipment suppliers, compare the quotations and review the alternatives together with you. The result is a carefully planned and financially viable investment that is ready to proceed to the funding application stage.

​

Our Investment Navigator service then takes the project forward systematically, from assessing permit requirements to preparing and submitting the farm investment support application.

​

Where applicable, the farm advisory allowance can also be used to cover the service. Together, we identify the most suitable route for your farm towards cleaner, more cost-effective and more self-sufficient energy production.

Envitecpolis has supported several hundred farms across Finland with solar energy investments. We combine technical expertise, a strong understanding of agricultural business and extensive experience in investment support applications.

​

This helps ensure that your investment is planned and implemented correctly from the outset, efficiently, systematically and with a clear focus on long-term financial value.
