NFU Energy has announced Forster Group as its new approved supplier of solar and associated roofing services to the agriculture sector.
Founded over 30 years ago by John Forster, the company is one of Scotland’s longest established providers of roof-top and ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) to the farming industry.
A champion for driving renewable energy adoption across multiple sectors, Forster Group has unrivalled experience and offers a unique advanced integrated solar and roofing system. Their solutions are helping customers build more efficient homes and businesses, supporting wider net-zero goals and driving down energy costs.
The new partnership with NFU Energy will see Forster Group continue to grow its profile across the agriculture sector, particularly NFU Scotland members and widen its reach, ensuring more customers can benefit from solar energy.
John Forster, Chair of Forster Group, said:
“By partnering with NFU Energy we now have the opportunity to deliver our services to even more customers. We’re looking forward to working together to achieve a common goal of helping consumers take more control of their own renewable energy future.
“Generating your own electricity from solar allows you to accurately forecast your long-term energy costs, reducing your need to purchase power from energy suppliers and helping you absorb the shocks of spiralling energy prices.
“Farm buildings particularly with large, un-shaded roofs typically present ideal conditions for generating electricity through the sun’s energy. Our highly experienced engineers, designers, roofing and electrical specialists offer farmers expert advice on everything from design, planning, and delivery, to support, maintenance and aftercare. This applies to completely new solar installations, upgrades, or add-ons to existing systems.”
Welcoming the new partnership, our Renewable Energy Service and Channel Manager, Jenny Beynon, said:
“We are very excited to have Forster Group as one of our accredited installers. By working together, we will be able to offer our Renewable Energy Service to all NFU Scotland members who are interested in reducing cost and carbon by installing solar.”
Following customer contact NFU Energy will conduct a detailed assessment and prepare a full proposal, at no cost. Customers will then be introduced to one of NFU Energy’s accredited installers, like Forster Group. NFU Energy review every proposal to ensure it meets their standards and addresses the customer’s needs.
Providing ongoing support, experts from NFU Energy will be on hand throughout the process to answer any questions and ensure everything happens smoothly.
John Forster continues:
“Amid the ongoing energy crisis we are committed to lead the way in solar best practice, providing a comprehensive in-house service focused on delivering the most innovative and cost-effective energy efficient solutions to our farming customers.”
