6 FAQs about [Rural solar power generation subsidies]
Can I apply for a solar Grant and a farm productivity grant?
It is possible to apply for both a solar grant and a farm productivity grant, but separate applications must be submitted, and the maximum grant across both applications is £500,000. Applications should be made through the Rural Payments Agency (RPA). The IFP grant is competitive, with applications judged on how well they meet funding criteria.
What is the improving farm productivity solar grant?
The Improving Farm Productivity solar grant is designed to support the installation of solar equipment on farm roofs and reservoirs. It is part of Defra’s drive to improve energy resilience and encourage electrification in agriculture.
How much does the IFP solar grant cover?
The Improving Farm Productivity (IFP) solar grant covers 25% of the capital cost for a wide range of equipment, including: Installation of charging points. PV panels can only be installed on farm building rooftops or irrigation reservoirs; ground-mounted systems are not eligible. How much funding is available? Grants range from £15,000 to £100,000.
How much is a grant for solar equipment?
For solar equipment, the minimum grant available is £15,000 and the maximum grant available is £100,000. The grant will cover up to 25% of the cost.

The local government encourages poor households to obtain labor income from PV revenue through labor work. Therefore, we believe that the changes in household energy use behavior do not have a reverse causal effect on whether the government grants PV subsidies to poor households.
Are low-quality solar panels a problem for rural residents?
However, rural residents are at a disadvantage in these communications. Their education levels tend to be lower and they have less access to information. Therefore, when solar installation companies use low-quality PV panels, households often cannot identify the problem. The low-quality panels reduce the power generation and income.
