The Benefits Of Solar Panels For Hotels

Energy Cost Savings and ROI
Hotels consume large amounts of energy for heating, cooling, lighting, laundry, and guest amenities. Installing solar panels allows hotels to generate their own clean electricity, cut utility bills, and improve long-term ROI, freeing up budget to reinvest in guest experience, refurbishment, or other operational upgrades.

Reduction in Carbon Footprint
Hotel solar panel systems reduce reliance on fossil fuels, helping lower greenhouse gas emissions and supporting broader sustainability goals. This enhances your environmental credentials and appeals to eco-conscious guests, travel platforms, and corporate clients with ESG targets.

Enhanced Energy Security and Reliability
Solar panels give hotels greater control over their energy supply, reducing dependence on the national grid and protecting against rising electricity prices. A stable, on-site energy source ensures uninterrupted service, which is essential for guest comfort and operational resilience.

FAQs About EvoEnergy’s Solar Panels for Schools

Can solar panels be installed without disrupting hotel guests?

Yes. We work around your booking patterns, event schedules, and peak seasons to ensure installations happen with minimal noise and disruption to guests or staff.

How do solar panels affect my hotel's ESG or sustainability reporting?

Solar generation directly reduces your carbon footprint and supports Scope 2 emission reductions. We provide data and documentation to support ESG disclosures and net-zero reporting.

Do I need planning permission for solar panels on agricultural land?

In many cases, solar panel systems on farms fall under permitted development. However, ground-mounted arrays or installations in protected areas may require planning approval. EvoEnergy will guide you through the process.

Can solar panels support 24/7 hotel operations, including HVAC and hot water?

Yes. A well-sized system can offset much of your daytime energy use, especially for HVAC, lighting, and hot water. Pairing with battery storage extends coverage into the evening.

Is my hotel’s rooftop strong enough to hold solar panels?

We carry out structural surveys before installation. Most modern hotel roofs can support panels, and we offer ballasted or low-penetration systems for more sensitive structures.

How much roof space does my hotel need to make solar worthwhile?

Even partial roof space can deliver significant savings. We’ll assess available area and energy usage to determine the best system size and ROI for your site.

What happens if my hotel is part of a franchise or group brand?

We work with franchise and corporate sustainability teams to align solar installations with brand standards, approval processes, and group-wide environmental goals.

Will solar panels impact my building’s energy rating or EPC?

Yes, positively. Solar installations improve your building’s EPC and energy efficiency credentials, which can enhance your value proposition to guests and corporate clients.

Can I install solar panels if my hotel is in a conservation area or listed building?

Possibly. Planning permission may be required, but we have experience navigating local authority approvals and offering sensitive, non-intrusive design solutions.

Are there government grants or incentives for hotels installing solar panels?

Hotels may be eligible for green business loans, capital allowances, or power purchase agreements (PPAs). We help identify the best funding route for your site.
