Скачать или смотреть How Solar Works for Care Homes | Simple Explanation & Cost Savings

How does solar power actually work in a care home and how does it save money? In this video, we explain how commercial solar PV systems work and why they’re such an effective solution for care homes.

Solar panels convert sunlight directly into electricity, which is used immediately on-site to power lighting, heating, kitchens, laundry, and essential equipment. Every unit of solar energy used during the day is a unit that doesn’t need to be bought from the grid — helping care homes avoid electricity costs of 25–30p per kWh.

If the solar system generates more power than the building is using, the excess electricity can be exported back to the grid for additional income or stored in batteries for later use. At St Luke’s Care Home, the solar installation is expected to generate 43% of total electricity demand, while delivering an overall 55–60% reduction in electricity bills.

We also cover how straightforward solar installation is for operational care homes. Systems are typically installed without disrupting residents or daily schedules, require no structural changes, and are commissioned within days. Once live, solar systems run silently, need minimal maintenance, and are remotely monitored to ensure optimal performance at all times.

If you’re considering solar panels for care homes, commercial solar installation, or reducing energy costs in healthcare, this video explains exactly how solar delivers reliable, long-term savings.
