Case study / Coate Water Care Ltd

One care group. Three distinct homes.

A care-group renewable energy rollout across three buildings of different sizes, each with its own solar PV and battery storage design.

01 / The brief

A group-wide direction, designed site by site.

Coate Water Care Ltd worked with Creative Energy on a renewable energy rollout across three care homes. Although the buildings belonged to the same group, their sizes and requirements were not identical.

54Bedrooms at site 1 · 168 solar panels · 50kWh battery
71Bedrooms at site 2 · 257 solar panels · 50kWh battery
82Bedrooms at site 3 · 273 solar panels · 50kWh battery
02 / What the project shows

Consistency of approach. Individuality of design.

01

Solar across three roofs

The number of panels varied by building: 168, 257 and 273 respectively, reflecting site-specific designs rather than a repeated standard specification.

02

Battery storage at each site

A 50kWh battery is documented for each of the three homes. How storage fits a building must be considered with its solar installation and electrical demand.

03

Wider electrical considerations

EV charging provision and site-specific energy considerations formed part of the documented work. The scope differed according to the needs of each location.

03 / Client perspective
“Creative Energy have supported our transition to ensuring our care homes are as sustainable as possible. From the first project all the way through to the last they have been excellent. We trust them fully.”
Jamie Smith — Director, Coate Water Care Ltd
What matters beyond the installation?

For a care group, the work has to make sense at portfolio level and remain practical at each individual home. A considered, site-by-site approach helps keep those two perspectives together.
