Why care homes are a strong fit for solar PPAs

UK care homes typically run 24/7/365 with steady electricity demand from: continuous lighting, heating + hot water (often heat pump-driven in newer builds), kitchen and laundry operations, lift and stair-lift power, increasing IT load for record-keeping, and resident comfort systems.

A Solar PPA delivers immediate cost savings without diverting capital from resident services or staff costs. CQC inspectors increasingly view sustainability commitments positively. Local authority placement contracts often weight sustainability scoring.
