Why Solar Makes Sense for Hospitality
High Energy Demand, Especially After Dark
Hospitality venues like restaurants, cinemas and hotels operate during evening hours. By integrating solar PV with battery storage, businesses can store excess daytime energy and use it during peak periods, reducing reliance on expensive grid electricity.
Rising Utility Costs
With energy prices on the rise, solar installations provide a hedge against market volatility, offering predictable and lower energy expenses over the long term.
Sustainability and Brand Image
Consumers increasingly prefer environmentally responsible businesses. Implementing solar energy demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, enhancing brand reputation and customer loyalty.
Regulatory Compliance
Governments are setting stricter energy efficiency and carbon reduction targets. Adopting solar energy helps restaurant, cinema and hotel chain businesses stay ahead of regulations and avoid potential penalties.

Hospitality Solar Funding Options
Investing in commercial solar doesn’t have to mean large upfront costs. There are several funding routes available to help hospitality sector companies make the switch to clean energy—while protecting cash flow and improving ROI.
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)
A Power Purchase Agreement allows you to install a solar PV system with no upfront capital investment. A third-party investor funds the system and sells you the electricity at a lower rate than your current supplier. This is ideal for hospitality sector companies wanting to cut costs and carbon without tying up capital. It is also a good option to test a PPA with one site before rolling out to the rest of the chain.

Asset Finance
Spread the cost of your solar installation over time with asset finance, such as lease or hire purchase agreements. This allows hospitality chains to preserve working capital while still benefiting from reduced energy costs and potential tax efficiencies.

Government Grants & Incentives
Eligible hotels, restaurants and pubs (independents and chains) may be able to access regional or national grant funding, especially for projects that support sustainability or decarbonisation goals. These can significantly lower the cost of your solar project and improve payback periods.
A key element of this is helping the motorway network embrace green energy and renewable solutions. That’s why we chose Geo Green Power – a knowledgeable and trusted expert in the field – to carry out this solar installation across 15 of our sites.
