Why should your healthcare facility invest in solar power?

The NHS and private healthcare facilities can achieve significant financial savings and environmental benefits through the installation of solar panels, empowering you to invest the savings from energy bills and invest funds in enhancing patient care, medical equipment, staff and strengthening community health services. With potential annual savings reaching the tens of thousands, solar power ensures long-term financial stability, freeing up resources for other essential areas of your operation.
 
Built to last for over 25 years with minimal maintenance, solar panels provide reliable energy generation, providing a significant proportion of your energy and shielding you from rising energy costs. This durability delivers peace of mind and ongoing operational efficiency for decades.
 
In addition to cost savings, investing in solar power visibly demonstrates your commitment to sustainability. Solar energy supports resilience in healthcare, offering a cleaner and more sustainable power source for essential services during energy challenges.

Great British Energy Grants for Hospitals

The UK government has allocated £100 million through Great British Energy to support nearly 200 NHS sites with rooftop solar panel installations. This initiative is part of a broader £200 million investment aimed at reducing energy costs and promoting sustainability across public services.

The Great British Energy grants for hospitals is hoping to deliver:

Significant Savings: Solar panels could save NHS sites up to £45,000 annually, with lifetime savings of up to £400 million across all sites. These savings would then be reinvested into frontline healthcare services.

Energy Resilience: Solar panels and complementary technologies like battery storage enhance energy independence and reliability for hospitals making them less vulnerable in the future to energy price uncertainty

Environmental Impact: By generating clean, renewable energy, hospitals contribute to the UK’s Net Zero climate goals and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Projects with high delivery confidence and significant economic and environmental impact will take priority. Hospitals are being invited to apply through an expression of interest process managed by the NHS which will ensure that the funding reaches areas most in need.

New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton

The system comprised 224 panels across multiple roofs to maximise energy generation and was scheduled to seamlessly integrate into the build.

These solar panels generate around 62,220kWh of energy every year.

Newark & Sherwood Care Homes

Two Care Home installations for Newark & Sherwood Council are generating enough renewable energy to power 30 homes!

Installations at Gladstone House and Broadleaves care homes in Nottinghamshire are shaving £10,000s off energy bills and reducing carbon emissions by 41 tonnes of CO2 every year.

How much will it cost?

As so many factors determine the cost of a solar panel installation, it’s difficult to provide an estimate.

The size and type of roof play huge roles in establishing the price of an installation, as does your existing electrical installation and access requirements. 

 

If you’re considering a solar PV installation for your hospital, clinic or care home we can discuss the options available, providing a straightforward estimation of costs, timescales, generation and long term savings.

How long do solar panel installations for hospital, clinic or care home take?

The amount of time solar panels would take to install depends on the size and the type of the roof. Our site team aim to get jobs done as efficiently and quickly as they can to avoid disruption.

Warranty and maintenance

Your solar panels will need an annual maintenance check to ensure there aren’t any issues with your system. Geo Green Power will contact you a month before your installation is due a service to book you in and then carry out the checks themselves. 

Solar for Healthcare FAQs

Will I have to get planning permission?
Not in the vast majority of cases. However if you want your system ground mounted, if your healthcare facility is part of a world heritage site, or is listed, then planning permission would likely have to be sought in advance. We will provide full assistance in completing applications and supplying any information requested to ensure the process is as quick and easy as possible.

Fore more helpful information see our Solar Panel FAQ’s page.

How do solar panels benefit your hospital or healthcare facility financially?
Solar panels will reduce electricity bills- meaning that hospitals and healthcare facilities will have extra funding to spend on staffing costs, additional services and building and equipment upgrades.
What is the expected lifespan and maintenance requirements for the solar panels?

Most solar panels last between 25-30 years and require an annual service.

What are the environmental benefits of installing solar panels at hospital or healthcare facility?
Solar panel installations will significantly reduce your facility’s energy bills and protect you from energy price increase in the future. It will also reduce your carbon footprint and improve your organisation’s green credentials. The system can also act as an opportunity to educate your team on environmental issues and sustainable solutions.
Will the installation process disrupt the day to day running of our facility or require any structural changes?
We ensure that we cause as little disruption as possible when installing solar panels through careful project management and thorough site surveying. We regularly install on properties that remain open to the public and continue day to day operations as usual. Scaffolding is positioned to ensure that we keep access routes clear and demarcation zones keep team and the public safe. During installation your day to day electricity supply will be unaffected, but a short period of downtime may be required when commissioning your system depending on your existing electrical installation. If a shit down is required we will schedule this to take place at a convenient time.

Thinking about Solar Power for your Hospital, Clinic or Care Home?

Many healthcare institutions may like the idea of investing in solar power, but simply do not have the initial capital to invest. If there was a system in place that would help you to have such a system with only a minimal initial spend would your healthcare institution be interested?
