Why care homes are investing in solar power 

Care homes face a unique energy challenge — delivering comfort and safety 24/7, while controlling rising costs. Installing solar panels can deliver significant operational, financial and environmental benefits for care homes: 

Reduce high operational costs

With a duty to create a comfortable atmosphere around the clock, care homes and assisted living accommodations are energy intensive facilities. During the energy crisis energy costs soared from £660 to £5,166 per bed per year. Solar panels for care homes offer a practical way to reduce operational costs and create longterm sustainability. 

Future-proof your care facility

The UK’s ageing population means demand for care is only going up. Couple that with complex funding models and rising operational costs, it’s alarming but not surprising that nearly a third of care homes have considered closure. Solar panels provide lower, more stable energy prices, helping to futureproof your facility. 

 

Improve your environment, inside and out

Families and regulators alike are looking for care homes that do more than meet the basics. They want to see long-term thinking, environmental awareness, and genuine commitment to quality of life. Installing solar panels for care homes reduces your carbon footprint and builds your reputation as a care home facility that takes climate change seriously.
