Hi

I'm sure this has been discussed elsewhere so apologies if I am duplicating a thread.

I am in the process of building a 1,400t refrigerated potato cold-store. The ridgeline runs East-West meaning that one aspect of the roof faces due south. The dimensions of this aspect are approximately 28metres long by 13metres deep. I am struggling to find much information online about the economics of installing panels on this roof. I understand FIT's have gone but would installing panels still stack up economically?

We are maincrop growers meaning that our coldstore will really only be running October-end of May. We have little demand for power outside of this time apart from drying/cooling grain with an on-floor system and 50hp Typhoon fan.

Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated. How much would such a installation cost? How much would it return or save us? Any ball park figures would be much appreciated before I investigate it properly.

Many thanks.
