The Costs of Solar Panels for Sailing Clubs and Marinas
When budgeting for marina solar panels, you will need to factor in the size of your facility and look at your current energy consumption.
There is also the option of offsetting some of these costs with the help of government schemes such as the Smart Export Guarantee scheme.
Here is an idea of what you can expect to pay when installing solar panels at your marina:
| Marina size | Annual energy consumption | Solar panel system needed | Number of solar panels | Estimated price with installation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 50,000 kWh | 40 kW | 100 | £40,000 – £60,000 |
| Medium | 100,000 kWh | 80 kW | 200 | £80,000 – £100,000 |
| Large | 200,000 kWh | 160 kW | 400 | £160,000 – £200,000 |
