Know the condition, capacity and resilience of your electrical infrastructure.
Our structured site health check reviews the electrical installation as an engineering asset — identifying immediate risks, developing issues, capacity constraints and opportunities for future improvement.
What would the failure of your electrical infrastructure cost your business?Downtime can mean lost production, failed pumps or ventilation, refrigeration losses, livestock welfare risks, emergency call-outs and disrupted operations. Identifying weaknesses before failure can be far less costly than reacting afterwards.

SMART FARM & RURAL IT INFRASTRUCTURE
Bringing rural connectivity into the 21st century.
Modern businesses increasingly depend on data, connectivity and connected technology. Avenor designs and installs robust IT infrastructure connecting people, buildings, machinery, security systems and smart agricultural equipment across rural sites.
We build the digital backbone — from the incoming internet connection through to farm-wide wired and wireless networks — so technology can operate reliably today and the site is ready for what comes next.

Engineered for the demands of agricultural and rural environments.
Our approach considers the real conditions found across farms, equestrian properties and rural sites — wet and dusty areas, corrosive atmospheres, livestock, rodents, machinery, wash-down, external equipment and the risk of mechanical damage.
EnvironmentAppropriate equipment selection, ingress protection and installation methods.
ProtectionEarthing, bonding, RCD protection, isolation and correctly coordinated protective devices.
DurabilityRobust cabling, containment and equipment positioned and protected for operational conditions.
MaintainabilityClear isolation, identification, testing and planned maintenance designed into the installation.

Metering & ControlsEnergy metering, monitoring and control integration.
TEMPORARY POWER & GENERATION
Temporary electrical infrastructure when permanent power isn't available.
We provide temporary power distribution and generation solutions for farms, estates, rural businesses, construction projects, events and emergency requirements.
Services can include generator supplies, temporary LV distribution, distribution boards, cabling, temporary lighting, changeover arrangements and site-wide temporary power systems, with installations planned around the load and operational requirements of the site.
MOP & HV APPLICATIONS / DESIGN
Support for larger power requirements and utility-connected projects.
For larger agricultural, estate and rural developments, we can support projects that extend beyond standard LV installation work, including DNO applications, new or upgraded electrical supplies, maximum-demand assessments, utility liaison, transformer and substation strategy, and coordination of the HV/LV interface.
This allows us to remain involved from early-stage load assessment and DNO application through to HV/LV design coordination, LV distribution, installation, metering, controls and final electrical delivery.
LV DISTRIBUTION
Robust low-voltage distribution for demanding farm environments.
We design and install LV distribution systems for agricultural buildings and rural businesses, including main switchboards, distribution boards, submains, three-phase supplies, local isolation, machinery feeds and alterations to existing installations.
Whether the project is a new barn, dairy upgrade, workshop, grain store, pump installation or expansion of an existing site, we can provide the complete electrical distribution package from incoming supply through to final circuits and equipment connections.
ENERGY AS A VALUE-ADD
Use your available space. Reduce the bill. Strengthen the infrastructure.
We don't treat solar as a stand-alone product. We look at the entire electrical installation: incoming supply, maximum demand, distribution, load profile, available installation space, EV demand and battery opportunity.
That means the system is designed as part of the farm — not simply bolted onto it.

SOLAR PV & BATTERY PAYBACK
See what solar could do with your available space.
No technical knowledge needed. Tell us roughly how much space you have and what you spend on electricity, and we’ll give you an indicative system size, cost and payback.
Well-matched commercial and agricultural sites with strong daytime electricity use and a straightforward installation may achieve simple payback from around 4 years. Sites with strong daytime electricity use generally achieve the best returns because more solar power is used on site rather than exported.
Indicative estimate only. Cost assumptions represent an efficient, straightforward commercial installation and will vary by site. The calculator is for initial guidance and does not constitute a quotation, guaranteed saving or guaranteed payback. Final figures are subject to site survey, system design, structural suitability, DNO requirements and current equipment and energy prices.
Tell us about your site
What are the benefits of battery storage? It can help a site use more of its own solar electricity, reduce peak-time import, improve resilience for selected loads and support smarter energy management — although it does not always shorten simple payback.
We take care of the technical assumptions.
The estimate recommends a sensible system size from both your available space and annual electricity use, then allows for commercial panels, installation, design, DNO/application costs, structural checks, commissioning, contingency and maintenance.
This is an initial feasibility estimate, not a quotation. Final performance and cost depend on the actual installation area, orientation, shading, electrical usage, network capacity, access, equipment selection and site survey.
Flexible ways to proceed
Choose how you want to fund your solar project.
From outright purchase to third-party finance and energy partnership models, we can help explore a commercial structure that fits your site, cash flow and long-term objectives.
Option 1
Buy Outright
Fund the installation directly and retain the full long-term benefit of the energy generated.
- Maximum long-term savings potential
- Simple ownership structure
- Indicative payback shown in our calculator
Option 2
Third-Party Finance
Spread the cost through an approved finance partner rather than committing the full capital sum up front.
- Preserve working capital
- Structured monthly or quarterly payments may be available
- Subject to lender approval and final finance terms
Option 3
Avenor Energy Partnership
For suitable sites, a third-party funded energy model may allow solar to be installed with little or no upfront capital outlay, with the value of the energy shared over an agreed term.
- Potentially lower energy cost from day one
- Can include monitoring, maintenance and performance support
- Creates a long-term energy partnership rather than a one-off installation
Important: Finance and energy partnership options are indicative and subject to site suitability, credit and funder approval, energy consumption, final system design, legal documentation and commercial terms. Avenor does not guarantee finance availability, savings, payback or a specific return.
