Solar pumps generate electricity from the sun through photovoltaic cells.
There are some systems available that qualify for accelerated capital allowances. Some can be used to heat water as a sort of an excess storage option rather than a battery.
At the Moorepark open day, the payback for 6 kW Micro generation PV system for a 100-cow dairy herd was discussed. With no grant it is 13 years, with 40% grant aid it is eight years and with 60% grant aid it is five years.
