Solar for Healthcare and Community

Across Australia, standards and requirements for Healthcare & Community organisations are becoming increasingly stringent. With these growing requirements, offering a high level of care to patients can mean a rise in operating costs. On top of this, healthcare operations require constant running of energy intensive equipment and air conditioning, which leads to energy costs being a significant line item in operating costs. Solar can provide an avenue for greater control over energy for healthcare facilities, from hospitals and clinics through to manufacturers. Solar requires no alteration to the operations of the business but can provide long-term energy savings and environmental benefits. Todae Solar provide commercial solar installations with no upfront costs, providing a potential cash flow benefit from day one. Here are some reasons why the healthcare industry is one of the fastest adopters of solar:

• With high energy requirements, consumption profiles are often very consistent, particularly in 7-day operations like Hospitals.
• The high portion of energy usage often mirrors the generation profile of solar which facilitates optimum ROI’s.
• Healthcare facilities often have large roof areas that are highly suitable for solar.
• Solar can assist in reducing demand and capacity charges, which can often form a large part of electricity bills.
• Solar can potentially offset a significant portion of electricity bills, providing energy savings and protecting against future price rises.
• Sustainability is often an important initiative within the Healthcare industry and solar provides a visible and long-term commitment to the environment.
