The Costs of Solar Panels for Hospitals & Medical Facilities

The size of the solar power system you will need mainly depends on your current energy consumption patterns as well as the overall size of your facility.

To help you save even further and make up the initial investment, healthcare facilities can take advantage of government initiatives. For example, the Smart Export Guarantee, which pays for extra electricity that’s fed back into the grid.

Let’s take a closer look at what you could expect to pay for a solar system for your hospital:
