Installation can be scheduled to minimise disruption to residents and staff. It typically takes a few days to a week, depending on the system size, and can be managed around care home routines to ensure minimal impact and discomfort on your residents.
Solar power protects care homes from rising energy costs because you are generating your own electricity which means that your building is less reliant on grid power. Your building is then protected from fluctuating energy prices Solar energy offers stable, predictable costs for 25+ years, giving you better control over the operational expenses of your facility.
Yes, solar panels are suitable for care homes as they have large roof space and work well in facilities that need energy generated 24/7. Care homes also tend to operate during daylight hours when solar energy production is at its peak.
There are a few financial benefits from installing solar panels in your care home, for example, tax allowance and VAT exemptions. Business are able to claim 100% VAT exemption on energy saving materials and 100% first year tax allowance on ECO assets, which allows the full cost of the solar equipment to be deducted from any profits made.
Yes, solar panels for care homes are easy to maintain. We recommend that you get your solar panels cleaned once a year.
The amount of time it takes to install solar panels for car dealerships will depend on the size of your facility. Most solar systems can be implemented in a few weeks or months, however. The process of installing solar panels includes energy audits, system design, permitting, and installation.
