Clean energy solutions
Renewable energy for tourism & leisure facilities
Often in tourism and leisure businesses such as hotels, leisure centres, zoos, gyms and sports stadiums, energy accounts for up to 30% of the total running costs of the business, second only to labour.
Lighting, swimming pools, catering and tourist attractions all require an enormous amount of daytime electricity and are therefore a perfect match for renewable technologies such as solar panels, solar thermal systems and solar carports.
Solar panels for leisure centres, tourist attractions and hospitality businesses.
Solar panels are the most popular sustainable solution for businesses within the hospitality, tourism & leisure sectors. With high daytime energy use, commercial solar panels offer a means to significantly reduce business overheads, forecast long-term energy costs and protect your business against future increases in energy costs.
There are a number of finance options for commercial solar panels and depending on the size of your roof, your business may qualify for a free, fully maintained solar panel installation via a power purchase agreement.

Solar carports for tourist attractions, leisure centres and the hospitality sector.
From a dual parking space to an entire car park; a solar carport makes a real statement on sustainability and not only offers the opportunity to charge electric vehicles on-site but to generate an income from low grade parking spaces, aesthetically improve your carpark, visibly promote your CSR credentials and provide staff, visitors and their vehicles with a shelter from the elements.
For businesses in the hospitality and tourism sectors with inadequate roof-space for solar panels or occupying a number of small roofs spread across site, a solar carport offers a means to increasing on-site energy generation. A solar carport can also create another revenue stream with the option to bill staff and (or) visitors to charge their electric vehicles on-site.
Solar thermal for tourist attractions, leisure centres and the hospitality sector.
Solar Thermal is ideal for providing heat for commercial applications. By harnessing free energy from the sun, a thermal system can provide the majority of your swimming pool’s annual heating needs and can be installed to complement the majority of existing heating systems or to heat the pool independently.
We recommend that a solar thermal system is linked to your building’s main heating system, ensuring that in winter the system can cover some of the site’s hot water needs.
Solarsense has installed award-winning solar thermal systems for a number of businesses including Clifton Lido (pictured left) which generated more than £100,000 of savings in less than three years and Easton Leisure Centre.
