Solar Panels for Hotels, Pubs and Restaurants

Kitchens, laundry, air handling and guest rooms use power from early morning to late at night. We design and install solar panels and batteries that cut those bills, while your doors stay open to guests.

Your Challenges, Solved

Solar Built for Busy Hotels

Hotels never really close, and your guests come first. Here’s how we make solar work for you.

The challenge

High energy use, all day

Kitchens, laundry, lifts, ventilation, lighting and hot water run from breakfast to last orders.

→
Our solution

You use almost all the solar power

Your demand is steady through the day, so nearly all the power the panels make is used on site. That means bigger savings and a faster payback.

The challenge

Guests and staff on site 24/7

You can’t close rooms or restaurants, and nobody wants noise, mess or blocked entrances.

→
Our solution

Safe install, hotel stays open

We plan deliveries, lifting and roof work around your occupancy, keep work areas away from guests and switch over the electrics at a quiet time. Our own team manages safety under CDM (the UK construction safety rules).

The challenge

Morning and evening peaks

Breakfast service, dinner and guests returning to their rooms push demand up when the panels make less power.

→
Our solution

Battery storage

Store solar power from the middle of the day and use it for the evening rush, so you buy less power at peak prices.

The challenge

Large, complex roofs

Hotel roofs often have hips, valleys, plant rooms and several levels.

→
Our solution

Designed around your roof

We survey the roof, check its strength and lay the panels out around plant, access routes and shading to get the most from the space.

The challenge

Guests and corporate clients asking about sustainability

Business travellers, event bookers and booking platforms increasingly look for greener hotels.

→
Our solution

Results you can show people

Live data on what your panels produce, plus carbon savings you can use in ESG (environmental) reports, tenders and marketing.

The challenge

Budgets tied up in refurbishments

Rooms, kitchens and public areas compete for the same capital.

→
Our solution

No-upfront-cost options

With a solar PPA (a funder pays for the panels and you buy the power) or finance, you start saving without a big upfront cost.

FAQs

Hotel & Hospitality Solar Questions

Will the hotel need to close during installation?

No. Both of our hotel projects stayed fully open. We plan deliveries, lifting and roof work around your occupancy and switch over the electrics at a quiet time.

Will our guests be disturbed?

We keep work areas fenced off and away from entrances, guest routes and outdoor seating, and agree working hours with you so noisy work happens at sensible times.

Is solar worthwhile for a pub or restaurant?

It can be. Kitchens, cellar cooling, refrigeration and lighting use plenty of power, and batteries can save solar power for evening service.

Who deals with the grid connection?

We do. Larger hotel systems need G99 approval (permission to connect) from your local network operator. We prepare and manage the application for you.

We have little capital. What are our options?

With a solar PPA, a funder pays for the system and you buy the power at a lower rate. Finance is also available, so you can start saving without a big upfront cost.
