Why are leisure facilities installing commercial solar?
The benefits of implementing commercial solar in your leisure facility are endless and will bring a lot of opportunity to your business.
Improving your sustainability is one such benefit because your guests will want to spend their time and money in an eco-friendly space. Solar energy is a clean, renewable power source that allows your facility to reduce its carbon footprint and demonstrate a commitment to environmental responsibility.
Your leisure facility will also gain its energy independence, having greater control over your power supply and less dependence on the main grid.
By using commercial solar for your leisure facility, your guests will have a well-lit and climate-controlled environment, without the worry of power shortages.
Leisure facilities are saving millions of pounds annually by adopting these sustainable practices and by implementing commercial solar panels.
With the rising demand in consumers and guests seeking out eco-friendly leisure facilities, your facility can attract more business, too.
Alongside this, with being energy independent, your leisure facility will be protected against any rising energy costs, with less reliance on the grid, too.
Rooftops of gyms, hotels, and sports centres are also ideal for solar panels, turning unused space into valuable energy-generating assets. So, in this way, you can leverage big rooftop space or any big areas of land nearby.

Besides being eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable, commercial solar for leisure facilities works incredibly well for a few different reasons.
For starters, most of these facilities are used during the day, which means that most of the energy will be supplied during the busiest periods.
The UK government and local authorities offer various financial incentives to encourage the adoption of solar power. Leisure facilities can take advantage of grants, rebates, and tax credits that help offset the initial cost of solar installations.
Many businesses also utilise Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), which allow them to install solar with little to no upfront investment. This means you get to save on energy bills almost immediately.
Now that you're saving all this money on operational costs, you have money left over to invest in growing your business.
In addition to the constant demand from HVAC and lighting, Leisure facilities can pose a diverse assortment of challenges.
Whether it’s a swimming pool with large water heaters, an ice rink with an extensive chiller/pump system or even a multi-screen cinema with several large sound systems and projectors to power, Sustain commercial solar will appraise the needs to the client to ensure that the challenge is met in the most appropriate way.
We are about to install a 285kW system for Total Fitness in Lincoln.
This will be made up of nearly 700 panels and is projected to supply them with over 160,000kWh of clean energy per year while offsetting nearly 190,000KW of CO2 emissions annually.
A case study for this project will be uploaded to our website upon completion.

Solar power improves the sustainability of a leisure facility by allowing your facility to reduce its carbon footprint and by saving on energy costs. Using solar energy will also give your leisure facility a reputation for being environmentally friendly, contributing to the Net Zero target.
The amount of solar panels that your leisure centre will need depends on a few different factors, such as the amount of space available, the type of roofing you have, the energy demands of your leisure centre, and your budget.
