Location: United Kingdom Scope: Bespoke solar PV and battery storage across two live, operational care facilities Sector: Healthcare - Care Homes System Size: 134 kW combined (76.54 kW solar PV + 57.62 kWh battery storage)
CHALLENGE
The client provides round-the-clock residential care across its homes, where reliable power supply is non-negotiable and any downtime carries real risk to residents. The organization needed to cut energy costs and carbon while protecting itself from volatile energy prices — all within sensitive, occupied care environments, without any interruption to critical services.
KEY OUTCOMES
Rapid Financial Return: Investment repaid in just 2.4 years. Meaningful Carbon Reduction: ~29.9 tonnes of CO2 cut annually — equivalent to roughly 1,556 trees planted per year. Price Volatility Protection: Battery storage shields residents and operations from energy price spikes. Zero Compromise to Care: Uninterrupted power to critical care maintained throughout deployment and operation. Energy Independence Across Both Sites: Bespoke generation and storage now serving two live care homes. Long-Term Impact Secured: ~748 tonnes of CO2 avoided and 3,300+ MWh of clean generation projected over the 25-year system life
SOLUTION
Following a detailed study of each home's individual energy consumption, Nuvolt designed bespoke solar PV and battery storage systems engineered around live care operations: Site-Specific System Design Separate generation and storage sizing for each home matched to each facility's actual demand. Integrated Solar + Battery Storage 76.54 kW of solar generation paired with 57.62 kWh of storage, enabling each site to generate, store and use its own clean energy around the clock. Care-Routine-Aligned Engineering Systems designed to align generation and storage patterns with daily care routines rather than a generic load profile. Continuity of Critical Supply Uninterrupted power to critical care services safeguarded throughout design and installation. Live-Site Delivery Installed across two operational, occupied care homes without disrupting resident care.
