Care Home Solar Installation — Project 2

Greater Manchester

Our second care home solar installation — another commercial PV system fitted across the roof of a residential care facility in Greater Manchester. This project involved panels across multiple pitched roof sections, with the layout designed to work around dormers, vents, and access hatches.

Like our first care home project, the round-the-clock energy demand made this an ideal building for solar. Heating, hot water, laundry, kitchen equipment, and lighting all run throughout the day, so the vast majority of electricity generated by the panels is consumed on-site.

The installation was planned in close coordination with the care home's management team. All work was carried out without any interruption to the building's power or daily operations, and the system was fully commissioned and generating within two weeks of starting on-site.

Common Questions

How many care homes has Manchester Renewables worked on?
We have completed solar installations on five care homes to date. Each project is different — we design every system around the building's specific roof layout, energy usage, and operational requirements.
Are solar panels suitable for care homes?
Care homes are one of the best commercial applications for solar. They consume electricity around the clock for heating, hot water, lighting, laundry, and medical equipment — meaning a high proportion of solar energy is used on-site rather than exported.
Will installation disrupt care home residents?
We plan every care home installation to minimise disruption. Work is carried out during normal hours, and we coordinate with management to avoid sensitive areas. There is no interruption to the building's power supply during installation.
How quickly can a care home solar system be installed?
Most care home installations are completed within 1-3 weeks depending on system size and roof complexity. We work efficiently to minimise the time spent on-site while maintaining our quality standards.
