Why are care homes using solar?
The primary benefit of care homes installing solar panels is that energy bills will decrease dramatically.
Because you need to ensure that your facility is a reliable source of energy for your residents, your energy will need to run 24/7. With solar panels, your building will be generating more than enough energy to ensure that your residents are taken care of throughout the year.
Using solar panels for your care home will also ensure your building is eco-friendly which will attract environmentally-conscious clients or residents. Families will trust that your facility is the right one for their loved ones. Not only this, but your facility will be known for being environmentally-friendly, leveraging more business and partnerships.
Equally, having solar panels installed will have a positive impact on the community in which your facility is based, becoming a thought leader in the care sector.
Care homes are saving millions of pounds each year using solar panels to generate energy. As a facility, care homes need access to energy 24/7 in order to care for residents throughout the year. Winter months can leave residents vulnerable, too, so your heating will need to be on all throughout the colder months.
As a result of this, your energy bills are bound to be sky-high without solar panels. So, in order to save money on energy bills, installing solar panels is the way forward.
Installing solar panels increases the value of your facility, too, so if you ever needed to sell the building, it would sell for more than what it was purchased for.

Solar energy for care homes works so well because solar panels are low maintenance and can generate a quick return on investment for your business.
Your care home will also become energy independent and more efficient by relying less on the grid, and more on the sun. This means that you won’t experience any energy shortages and your residents will be cared for in the best way possible.
Becoming a thought leader with a sustainable building in your community is also bound to attract more business, spreading word of mouth and fostering trust with your residents.
Rising energy costs and increasing demands to meet sustainability targets are significant challenges for care homes. With energy consumption being one of the largest overheads in the sector, solar energy provides the perfect solution to dramatically reduce operating expenses and ensure long-term financial stability.
For care homes, solar isn’t just about cutting costs—it’s about improving quality of care by freeing up resources for critical needs. Lower energy bills mean more budget for staffing, facility upgrades, and resident well-being. Solar also helps enhance your Care Home’s sustainability profile, aligning with green initiatives and attracting families who value environmentally conscious care providers.
At Sustain Commercial Solar, we work closely with care homes to deliver substantial energy savings, improve energy efficiency, and support sustainability goals. Beyond just saving on energy, solar installations can also boost your property's value, improve your EPC rating, and protect your home from market volatility.
Solar doesn’t just cut costs—it turns your care home into a high-performing, sustainable asset that ensures long-term value and security for your business and residents alike.
