Sector · Healthcare
Renewable energy for places that can’t go dark.
Solar, battery backup and heat pumps for GP surgeries, care homes, dental practices and clinics. Designed around 24/7 operation, infection control and the realities of clinical occupancy.
Why Healthcare Facilities?
Healthcare has unique energy requirements that renewable technology can address effectively.
24/7 Operations
Healthcare facilities operate around the clock with consistent energy demand. This baseline consumption maximises solar self-consumption during daylight hours.
Critical Backup Power
Battery storage provides reliable backup for critical systems during grid outages. Essential for medical equipment, lighting, and life-safety systems.
NHS Net Zero
The NHS has committed to Net Zero by 2040. On-site renewable energy is essential for NHS trusts, CCGs, and private healthcare providers to meet these targets.
High Energy Costs
Medical equipment, HVAC, lighting, and sterilisation create substantial electricity bills. Solar can offset 30-50% of daytime consumption, delivering significant savings.
Staff & Patient Charging
Provide EV charging for staff as a workplace benefit and for patients during long visits. Particularly valuable for facilities with commuting staff and outpatient services.
Peak Demand Reduction
Medical imaging, surgical equipment, and HVAC systems create demand peaks. Battery storage reduces capacity charges through peak shaving.
Solutions for Healthcare
Solar PV Systems
Generate clean electricity to power hospital operations. 24/7 consumption patterns maximise self-consumption. Systems designed to meet HTM (Health Technical Memoranda) requirements.
- High self-consumption ratio
- HTM compliant installations
- NHS Net Zero contribution
- Minimal operational disruption
Battery Storage & Backup
Provide backup power for critical systems and reduce peak demand charges. Battery storage offers faster response than diesel generators and cleaner operation.
- Critical system backup
- Peak demand reduction
- Cleaner than diesel backup
- UPS functionality
Staff & Patient EV Charging
Provide workplace charging for healthcare staff and convenient charging for patients and visitors during appointments and visits.
- Staff recruitment benefit
- Patient convenience
- Workplace Charging Scheme
- Solar-powered options
Heat Pumps
Efficient heating and cooling for healthcare buildings. Heat pumps also provide hot water - essential for infection control and patient care.
- Heating, cooling, and hot water
- Improved infection control (no combustion)
- NHS decarbonisation
- Quiet operation for patient areas
Healthcare-Specific Considerations
HTM Compliance
Healthcare Technical Memoranda set standards for healthcare building services. Our installations comply with relevant HTM requirements for electrical systems, backup power, and building services integration.
Infection Control During Installation
We understand healthcare infection control requirements. Installations are planned to minimise dust, maintain appropriate barriers, and coordinate with infection control teams. Work can be scheduled during quieter periods.
Critical Load Backup
Battery storage can provide backup for defined critical loads during outages. We work with your facilities team to identify priority circuits and design appropriate backup capacity and response times.
NHS Procurement
We understand NHS procurement requirements and can work through appropriate frameworks. Our accreditations and experience support compliant procurement for NHS trusts and CCGs.
