Both large scale nursing homes and smaller residential care homes have been beset by the high cost of energy that keeps rising year after year. We at New Energy Futures would like to offer you a cost effective solution to these rising costs and that is to tell you about the money saving features of solar power.
Commercial – Solar Energy for Care and Nursing Homes
Not only is it possible to save on the cost of electricity but it is also possible to save on the cost of heating water for all patient care needs from washing dishes to bathing residents, a single solar installation can provide a sizeable reduction in your monthly utility bills.
There are very few people who aren’t familiar with solar panels as we see them popping up daily all across the UK. What we may not be aware of is that solar panels for care and nursing homes can provide significant savings in the high cost of running a managed health care facility.
Of course we know that many homeowners are taking advantage of the Feed in Tariff scheme to actually get paid 41.3p per Kwh generated but there is also a FIT scheme for the businesses and the public sector as well. Talk to a representative from New Energy Futures to see which system would best meet the needs of your care home or nursing home.
As a certified MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) solar installer, New Energy Futures can provide you with information on the latest technology in solar power to give you a wider variety of choices when considering a solar installation.
Of course solar electricity isn’t the only type of solar power system which can be installed for care and nursing homes as solar hot water can also be an option and a great one at that! Consider all those dishes that are washed daily and all those baths that require an abundance of hot water.
As mentioned above, patient care requires a continual source of hot water and a solar installation can provide hot water during daytime hours whilst sending water to a reserve tank for later times, relying minimally on a boiler or hot water heater that is powered by gas or electricity.
With the growing concern about the high costs associated with care and nursing homes, any time you can find a way to save money on operating expenses you should jump on the chance to take advantage of those savings! New Energy Futures at Solar Install can help you analyse the best way to take advantage of renewable solar power.
Whether it is to install MCS certified solar panels on your rooftop or to install a solar hot water system, there are a number of options that can help keep the cost of patient care down. Call us today for a free, no obligation quote and don’t forget to ask about any government grants which may be available to further reduce your savings.
