Everything you need to know about installing solar panels on your farm
Once you have bought your solar PV panels, the maintenance and operating costs are small, writes Barry Caslin. In general, solar panels will require no maintenance as there are no moving parts. The panels will require cleaning every year or two but will mainly be self-cleaning on a pitched roof with our typical rainfall patterns.

Do generators need to make hazardous waste determinations on solar panels that they recycle or send off-site for recycling? When a generator removes a solar panel from service and sends it for recycling, the generator should first determine whether a RCRA exclusion, exemption, or alternative management standard applies (such as the transfer-based exclusion
6 FAQs about [Pitcairn Islands solar panels and farming]
Can solar energy replace fossil fuels on Pitcairn Island?
Pitcairn’s authorities have launched a renewable energy project designed to replace fossil fuels with solar energy. The goal is to replace 95% of the current diesel consumption on Pitcairn Island (75,000 liters per year) with a combination of energy saving and solar electricity through the installation of a hybrid photovoltaic solar energy system.
Are the Pitcairn Islands Green?
Pitcairn Islands, a group of five islands with a total area of 47 km2 and which constitute one of the most remote archipelagos in the world, turn to safer, greener energies that best meet the needs of the population. Pitcairn’s authorities have launched a renewable energy project designed to replace fossil fuels with solar energy.
Can Agri-PV combine food and solar energy production on farmland?
While in the past it was a question of either food or solar energy production on farmland, Agri-PV can combine both. This bold application unlocks dual use of cropland by integrating PV modules above the crops, enhancing climate resilience and allowing sustainable food and energy production on one single piece of land.
Does Oceania have solar energy?
The preceding maps of Solar radiation (Solargis) and Wind energy (Global Wind Atlas) show that Oceania is able to be roughly split into regions close to the Equator and those farther away with different amounts of Solar radiation and ranges of Mean Wind Speeds. Solar Power appears to be the most significant source of Renewable Energy at this time.
Can solar panels help reduce wind lulls in Samoa?
Both solutions could be installed to improve resilience, e.g. the 550 kW Wind Turbine (2 x 275 kW) site below in Samoa could easily have Solar PV panels installed on the same site to help provide electrical power in cases of wind lulls.
Why do remote islands have a high fuel cost?
These remote islands face some of the highest fuel costs in the world due to their location and logistical challenges.
