Commercial Solar Power Purchase Agreement opportunity for care homes in the CT12 postcode area. Site-specific irradiance and indicative economics.
The CT12 postcode area contains approximately 3 commercial care homes in public registers (CQC, NDEPC, OS / Companies House data). UK Solar Fund funds and operates commercial Solar PPAs for care homes across this region — zero upfront capital, 20-40% off grid electricity, full O&M included for 10-25 years.
Care homes have steady 24/7/365 electricity demand — lighting, heating, kitchen, laundry, lift operation, increasing heat-pump load. Solar PPAs cut bills 20-40% with zero capital outlay.
EU JRC PVGIS modelling for the CT12 postcode area shows annual solar yield of 936 kWh per kWp installed per year — +8% vs UK average.
Care home rooftop systems typically range 60-400 kWp depending on home size (resident count). The Solar PPA structure works particularly well for care home operators because there's no capital diversion from resident services.
| Site profile | Typical kWp | Estimated saving |
|---|---|---|
| Small home (15-30 residents) | 30-80 kWp | £4,500-£11,000 / yr saving |
| Mid-size (40-70 residents) | 80-200 kWp | £11,000-£28,000 / yr saving |
| Large home (80-120 residents) | 200-400 kWp | £28,000-£55,000 / yr saving |
Care homes typically have the right profile for a Solar PPA — large available roof or land area, daytime electricity demand, and an operating model that benefits from cost reduction without capital lock-up.
