With so much emphasis on healthy living, health clubs are the ideal candidates for solar power. Not only can a solar installation save money on the high cost of electricity month after month but solar electricity is by far one of the most environmentally friendly sources of power and sure to attract growing numbers of health conscious people. After all, who better to appreciate your efforts to go green than those already concerned with the state of their health?
Solar Panels for Health Clubs
Many of the more modern health clubs around the UK also use a huge amount of hot water as there are showers and heated pools to consider. Solar power comes in handy here as well because there are two unique types of solar installations which New Energy Futures is fully accredited to install, one being rooftop panels for electricity and the other being solar hot water systems. As the sun’s energy is captured, water is heated and passed through a heat exchanger. Warm water is then stored in a hot water cylinder.
The only time you will need your boiler is if backup heating would be required. Consider the savings alone as hot water is one of the biggest expenses where there are heated pools and hot showers available during all hours of operation! These are usually controlled from a switch within the building so that when the club is closed for the evening you can control which water is to remain heated and which water heaters can be switched off.
A good bit of equipment in a health club is operated by electricity which in turn can give way to higher membership costs. A health club wouldn’t stay in business long if it was expected to absorb the rising cost of electricity without marking up membership to compensate accordingly. Think of the benefits of being able to tell your clients you are not only health conscious and reducing the club’s carbon footprint but you are able to save them money on their membership as you can pass the savings on to them!
Perhaps you won’t be able to generate all the electricity you will use with a solar installation but combined with the Feed in Tariff (FIT) and any extra revenue from the occasional exporting of electricity into the grid, you should realise a sizable savings on electricity. You can also avail your health club of the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) that is offered for ground and air source heat pumps and solar heating systems.
Whether you are looking to take advantage solely of a solar installation to help cut the cost of electricity or are in need of a solar hot water heating system, a New Energy Futures installer can answer any questions you have whilst conducting a no obligation free onsite visit. We are fully compliant with the Microgeneration Certification Scheme and have been certified as an MCS installer.
New Energy Futures only installs MCS certified equipment that meets with the FIT and RHI standards so you can be confident that your solar installation will meet with or exceed government standards. Call us today for that free onsite visit and a no obligation quote. Don’t forget to ask about any government grants which may be available to you!
