Your farm buildings can also
generate value.
Whether it’s hangars, livestock barns, workshops, or large rooftops: AR SERVICES analyzes the available space and the farm’s energy consumption to design a well-thought-out solar power project.
What type of need would you like to study?
The project is based on the building, the business operations, and the farm’s actual energy consumption.
Making the Most of a Large Roof
Whether it's a hangar, barn, workshop, or other building: we consider the area, orientation, and site constraints.
Inspect my roof →Producing for My Own Use
Ventilation, cooling, pumping, workshop equipment, or other systems: self-consumption should be planned based on actual usage patterns.
Review my usage →Add Storage
If there is a time lag between production and consumption, a battery may be considered in certain cases.
Learn about storage →Maintaining an Existing System
Dust and the agricultural environment may warrant an inspection or appropriate action for large areas.

Agricultural ProjectStarting from the farm and the building
Large-scale rooftop systems, self-consumption, storage, and maintenance are only worthwhile if they truly align with the farm’s specific needs and constraints.
Available land area, infrastructure, energy consumption, and operational constraints must be considered together.
A successful project depends as much on how the building is used as it does on the building itself.
Two hangars of the same size may require very different approaches depending on their intended use, activity, structure, and electrical specifications.
Solar power, energy storage, maintenance: a comprehensive approach.
Agricultural Solar Power
Utilize one or more available rooftops, depending on technical feasibility and the farm’s operational plan.
Learn about photovoltaics →Battery
Examine the benefits of storage when production and the farm's needs do not align sufficiently.
Learn more about storage →Cleaning & Follow-Up
Organize the maintenance of a facility exposed to dust, deposits, or stresses specific to the agricultural environment.

Maintenance & Follow-upDon't forget to think about what comes after installation
Accessibility, dust, site activity, and installed area all affect monitoring. Maintenance must be tailored to the actual operating conditions.
A project that's easy to understand, even when the website is complex.
We avoid cookie-cutter proposals. Our goal is to quickly understand your constraints and present you with a clear plan.
Talking about my farm →A method suited for farms.
A single point of contact, a structured analysis, and decisions explained in simple terms.
Initial responses to an agricultural project.
Is a large farm roof necessarily suitable for solar panels?
No. Floor area alone is not enough: the building’s structure, orientation, condition, site constraints, and energy plan must all be taken into account.
Can the electricity generated on the farm be used directly?
Yes, depending on the configuration chosen. The key is to look at when the facility consumes energy and compare those times with solar generation.
Can a battery be useful on a farm?
It may be feasible in certain scenarios, but its viability depends on production and consumption patterns, as well as the site's electrical infrastructure.
Is cleaning more important in an agricultural setting?
Dust and activity can increase the panels’ exposure to certain types of dirt. However, the frequency should be determined based on the actual condition of the installation.
Does AR SERVICES operate throughout Normandy?
Calvados is the priority, with broader coverage of Normandy depending on the nature and size of the project.
Do you have a large roof or an energy project you'd like to explore?
Please send us the initial information about the building and its operations. AR SERVICES will help you identify the scenarios that are truly relevant.
