Solar and LED lighting for Care Homes
- Reduce Energy Costs
- Cut Carbon
- Protect Capital
Butterfly Eco helps care homes reduce their energy costs through fully funded solar PV and energy-efficient LED lighting.
Care homes operate around the clock, with consistently high demand for electricity across lighting, kitchens, laundry, heating controls and resident facilities. This makes them particularly well suited to solar and LED lighting.
We manage the complete process, from the initial energy assessment and design through to funding, installation, monitoring and ongoing support.
Our work is carefully planned around residents, staff and daily operations, minimising disruption while delivering immediate financial and environmental benefits.
Every care home is different. Energy consumption, existing lighting, building ownership, roof suitability, available capital and financial objectives all vary from site to site.
Butterfly Eco works with a panel of established funding partners to identify the most appropriate solar and LED lighting solution for each care home.
Care-home operators choose:
Care homes have access to a complete solar PV system designed, funded and installed with no upfront cost.
There is:
The solar system is fully funded, installed, monitored and maintained throughout the agreement at no cost to the care home.
The care home simply purchases the clean electricity generated by the system at an agreed rate below the cost of grid electricity, providing guaranteed energy-cost savings from day one.
Because care homes use significant amounts of electricity throughout the day, a high proportion of the solar energy generated is consumed directly on site, maximising savings and reducing exposure to future energy-price increases.
Key benefits include:
Care homes upgrade their existing lighting to modern, energy-efficient LED technology without upfront capital expenditure.
Butterfly Eco completes a detailed lighting survey and designs a tailored replacement scheme focused on reducing electricity consumption, improving light quality and lowering maintenance requirements.
The lighting upgrade is fully funded and installed, allowing the care home to benefit from immediate energy and carbon savings without using its capital budget.
Installation is planned around residents and staff, with work completed in carefully managed phases to minimise disruption to bedrooms, communal areas, corridors, kitchens and clinical spaces.
Key benefits include:
Care homes choose fully funded solar, fully funded LED lighting or combine both technologies to maximise their available savings.
Care homes install solar PV and LED lighting through lease finance, with no capital investment or upfront cost required.
The agreement is structured so that the guaranteed energy savings are always greater than the lease payments, making the project cash-positive from day one.
The care home benefits immediately from lower energy costs and reduced CO₂ emissions while paying for the equipment from the savings it generates.
Lease finance is particularly suitable for operators who want to retain their capital for resident care, staffing, acquisitions or essential property improvements.
Where a care-home operator has available capital reserves, it may choose to purchase its solar PV or LED lighting outright.
Butterfly Eco provides the feasibility study, technical design and supporting business case required to assess capital purchase alongside the fully funded and lease-finance routes.
Resident comfort, safety and continuity of care remain central throughout every project.
Our installation programme is coordinated with the care-home team, with work planned around mealtimes, medication rounds, visiting hours and other essential activities.
We provide:
Solar PV and LED lighting reduce the amount of electricity purchased from the grid, lowering operating costs and protecting the care home against future energy-price increases.
By combining both technologies, care-home operators achieve greater savings, reduce CO₂ emissions and release more money for frontline care.
