Where a hotel uses the most electricity
A hotel load profile is heavy and runs most of the day, which suits solar well. These are the loads we usually target first:
Air conditioning
Guest rooms and lobbies are typically the largest consumer, and daytime cooling lines up with peak solar production.
Pool pumps
Pumps and filtration run for hours every day and are easy to power directly from solar.
Hot water
Showers, laundry and kitchens add steady demand that solar can offset.
Restaurant and refrigeration
Walk-in coolers, freezers and kitchen equipment run around the clock and benefit from battery backup.
Laundry
Washers and dryers draw high power in daytime shifts when solar output is strongest.
Common areas and guest rooms
Lighting, elevators, Wi-Fi, security and in-room power for the whole property.
What a hotel solar system includes
Rooftop solar
Panels sized to your roof, shade and daytime consumption, installed on tile, metal or concrete roofs.
Solar battery storage
LiFePO4 batteries carry critical loads through outages and shift solar energy into the evening.
Solar carports
Parking areas become shaded, power-producing canopies that also protect guest vehicles.
EV charging
Add guest charging powered by your own solar, a growing request from travelers.
Monitoring
Track production and consumption so you can see the savings month by month.
ROI, sustainability and reducing operating costs
Return on investment depends on your current bill, how much daytime load you have and the space available for panels. During a free site visit we review your recent bills, walk the property and give you a custom proposal with expected production and savings. Beyond the numbers, a visible solar installation supports eco-certifications and gives guests a concrete reason to choose a greener property. Results vary by property and are not guaranteed.
Frequently asked questions
Savings depend on your consumption, roof and canopy space, and whether you add batteries. Hotels with large daytime loads such as air conditioning, pools and laundry usually see the biggest reductions. We provide an estimate after reviewing your bills.
Yes. A battery and hybrid inverter can keep critical loads such as refrigeration, lighting, Wi-Fi, security and selected rooms running when the grid goes down.
Yes. We design solar canopies over parking areas, and can combine them with EV charging for guests.
Yes. Our hybrid systems co-exist with your current electrical system, so nothing has to be replaced.
No cost. No obligation.
