Tailored Solar PV Systems for Long-Term Care Facilities
Solar PV Installation for Care Home
Care homes face unique challenges—rising energy bills, strict environmental regulations, and the need for reliable, uninterrupted power.
Ampergia delivered a bespoke solar PV installation at a leading care facility, designed to reduce energy dependence, improve sustainability, and protect long-term financial health. By leveraging our commercial solar expertise and smart system design, we enabled the care home to redirect thousands in annual savings towards resident care and operational improvements.
The project showcases our commitment to clean energy that doesn’t compromise comfort, care, or compliance.

How a 79.05kW PV System Paid Off—And Then Some
Care Home Slashes Bills with Solar Power and Smart Storage
Who said energy bills have to be shocking? This care home proved they don’t. With a 79.05kW solar PV system on the roof and a battery that doesn’t quit, this site has taken a serious bite out of energy costs—and emissions.
Here’s the sunny side of the story:
Monthly electricity costs dropped by 38%. That’s not a typo. That’s £3,208 saved every month by the end of September 2023. That’s a lot of cups of tea.
The battery isn’t just sitting there looking pretty. It’s working at 96% efficiency, saving 25% of the solar power for later use or for sending back to the grid. Nothing goes to waste.
Thanks to this setup, the payback period is a wallet-friendly 3 years and 11 months. That’s shorter than most gym memberships—and far more rewarding.
The system’s overachieving. Predicted annual savings? Already 3–5% higher than expected, thanks to smart energy use, solar yield, and that hard-working battery.
Environmental win? Oh yes.
It’s not just about saving pounds—it’s about saving the planet. The PV system is pulling its weight and then some:
14,476kg of greenhouse gas emissions reduced every year. That’s 2,415kg more than originally quoted. We love an overachiever.
In January 2024, the system generated 2,400kWh—14% more than forecasted. Clearly, it doesn’t believe in taking the winter off.
As of January’s end, this green warrior has:
- Saved 3.34 tons of coal
- Avoided 3.96 tons of CO₂ emissions
- Planted the equivalent of 6 trees (metaphorically, of course—though real trees are great too)
Moral of the story? Solar works. Especially when paired with storage and a good plan. This care home is cutting costs, reducing emissions, and setting the bar high. The forecast? Bright with a chance of massive savings.
