Hall Farm Lets – Business Solar Energy Success Story
Customer: Danny, Hall Farm Lets
Industry: Holiday Homes, Indoor Swimming Pool, Stables, and Storage
Annual Electricity Usage Before Solar: 24,000 kWh
Previous Electricity Costs: Nearly £1,000 per month
The Challenge
Hall Farm Lets, a busy business operation with multiple energy-intensive facilities, was facing increasing electricity costs. With their holiday home rentals, indoor swimming pool used for lessons, stables, and storage facilities all consuming a significant amount of power, their electricity bills were becoming a major expense. Spending nearly £12,000 per year on energy, Danny and his team were looking for a way to reduce costs, become more energy-efficient, and make the business more environmentally friendly.
Why Future Proof Solar?
After hearing from a neighbouring business that had already seen great savings with a solar system installed by Future Proof Solar, Danny decided to explore solar energy for his business as a solution. Hall Farm Lets invited multiple companies to assess their site, ultimately choosing Future Proof Solar due to:
- A thorough, data-driven proposal with clear financial projections ✔️
- A no-pressure sales approach that focused on transparency ✔️
- A strong track record of delivering results ✔️
For Danny, the key factor was the return on investment (ROI). Future Proof Solar’s reports projected a payback period of just 3 to 3.5 years, making it a financially smart decision for the business.
The Results
Since the installation last year, Hall Farm Lets has already generated over 10,000 kWh in just 7-8 months, significantly reducing their reliance on the grid and lowering their energy bills. During the summer months, the system has been covering Danny’s electricity bills completely with business solar energy, even allowing him to export excess energy back to the grid and get paid – again proving solar energy is a sound business investment. In the winter months, while generation is lower due to reduced sunlight hours, the system enables him to buy energy at a cheaper rate, storing or using it as needed to optimise savings. The business has also gained an additional marketing advantage by promoting their commitment to sustainable energy and offering EV chargers for guests.
Future Plans
Impressed with the savings and efficiency of their system, Danny is now considering an upgrade, looking to install additional solar panels on the swimming pool roof to power pool heating with solar instead of oil.
Danny’s Recommendation
Danny praises the professionalism and transparency of Future Proof Solar, particularly the detailed survey conducted by Pav which included thorough business solar energy savings and payback period predictions. He highly recommends any business considering solar to get a detailed report and quote to see the potential savings for themselves before making a decision.
“I would rate Future Proof Solar 10/10 for the install team and everyone involved.”
