Florence Care Homes installed a 23.8 kWp, 56-panel system at its Colchester care setting — generating 24,000–26,000 kWh a year and covering 35–40% of its energy needs, with full ROI expected within 5.5–6 years.
Florence Care Homes in Colchester needed to reduce energy costs across a residential care setting where consumption is constant throughout the day.
The goal was to cover a meaningful share of that demand with rooftop solar while keeping running costs down.
Solar4Good installed a 23.8 kWp system using 56 Jinko 425W panels with two FoxESS G10.5 single-phase inverters, sized to the home's steady daytime demand.
The system now generates 24,000–26,000 kWh annually, covering 35–40% of the home's energy needs, with full ROI expected within 5.5–6 years and around £110,000 in lifetime savings.
