CASE STUDIES:
Care homes
we’ve already helped
The care homes we’ve helped all had the same challenge: high, 24/7 electricity use putting pressure on budgets. By designing solar panels for care homes around real demand for heating, hot water, lighting and medical equipment, we’ve helped them cut daytime grid usage, reduce energy-related carbon emissions and free up more of their budget to focus on frontline resident care.

Our Office Building Solar PV install process
Site survey and structural checks
We carry out a detailed site survey of your care home, reviewing roofs, plant areas and access so work can be planned safely around residents and staff. Using plans and satellite imagery, we assess shading, roof condition and existing rooftop plant, then take measurements so we have everything we need to build an accurate care-home-specific demo.
Design and yield modelling
We design your care home solar PV system around your actual electricity use, including heating, hot water, lighting and medical equipment. Using half-hourly data where available, we model how the system would perform on your building, including indicative payback period, expected annual generation and how much daytime grid demand it could offset.
Installation with minimal disruption to operations
Once you’re happy with the design, we agree an installation schedule that fits around visiting times, meal services and quieter periods in the home. Work is planned to minimise noise and disruption for residents, with key activities agreed in advance with your management team so the home can stay open, safe and comfortable while the system is installed.
Monitoring, maintenance, performance checks
After commissioning, you’ll have access to online monitoring so you can see how your care home’s solar PV system is performing in real time. We’ll discuss maintenance options and provide regular performance checks, helping ensure the system continues to support your energy-saving, ESG and cost-reduction targets over the long term.
