Livestock farms are premitted to install rooftop solar power systems, provided that the solar facility does not disrupt animal growth conditions within the farm. Agricultural buildings with valid construction permits for livestock facilities are eligible to apply for rooftop green energy installations.
Not Just Benefits for You But Animals
Livestock farming often faces environmental stress factors such as high temperature and humidity, which can negatively affect animal homeostasis. By installing solar panels across the entire rooftop, farmers can lower indoor temperatures, improve animal well-being, and enhance reproduction rates
User Benefit
Cooling & Energy Savings
- Reduces indoor temp by approx. 3–5°C, lowering air conditioning usage.
- Cuts facility electricity costs with energy-efficient cooling
- Extends the lifespan of rooftop construction materials
Increased Revenue
- Earn passive income through roof leasing or electricity sales
- Utilize self-generated solar power, lowering electricity bills
- Minimize operational costs for environmental control systems
Technical Services & Financing
- Roof leasing no upfront costs, allowing property owners to share electricity sales profits
- We handle installation, financing, and operational maintenance, ensuring a hassle-free experience
Self-Build vs. Roof Leasing
We offer both self-build and lease-based solar installations for agricultural facilities.
Example Calculation
A ~2,970 square meters can support 499kW of solar panels. Using the second half of 2025 feed-in tariff rate (for 100kW–500kW systems) at NT$4.1789/kWh:
Self-Build (Owner-Funded Construction)
- Investment: NT$18 million
- Estimated annual net income: NT$2.6 million
- Higher revenue, but requires investment and maintenance responsibilities.
Roof Leasing (Rental-Based Model)
- Annual rental income: NT$520,000
- Calculation: Installed capacity (499kW) × Avg. annual generation (1,250kWh) × Feed-in tariff rate (NT$4.1789) × Revenue share (20%)
- No upfront costs; property owners share electricity sales profits.
Regulatory Compliance
Agricultural storage facilities must be legally approved for agricultural use and demonstrate active agricultural operations before applying for solar energy installations.
Application Requirements
- Formal approval from local government for agricultural facility usage
- Proof of active agricultural operations (production, facility functionality, output quotas, etc.)
- Maximum allowable rooftop usage: up to 100% for solar installations
