Solar panels for hospitals and medical facilities
Why invest in solar power for healthcare facilities?
From ageing infrastructure to rising running costs, healthcare providers face mounting pressure – all while trying to deliver safe, high-quality care. Solar power for healthcare facilities is a practical step toward solving multiple challenges at once.
Secure lower energy bills for the long-term
Both public and private healthcare facilities are under strain from the rising cost of energy – and it risks having an impact on the urgent medical care they provide. With the NHS estate using over 11 billion kWh of energy a year, and a leading private healthcare provider citing energy costs as the reason for its falling profits, it’s clear action needs to be taken quickly.
Installing solar panels offers immediate financial relief without compromising frontline delivery.
Cut carbon emissions and meet net zero targets
Hospitals have a legally binding target to reach net zero by 2040, and are responsible for around 4% of England’s total carbon footprint. At the same time, air pollution – linked to multiple illnesses – is exacerbated by carbon emissions from buildings and transport.
Hospital solar installations provide a visible, scalable way to deliver cleaner air and healthier environments, reduce reliance on volatile fossil fuels, and support the NHS and private providers in delivering sustainable care.
