Project overview
At Evans Energy, our mission is to help businesses unlock the full potential of renewable energy, and our recent installation for Gwalia Healthcare is a testament to the transformative benefits that solar power can deliver.
581 kW system size
1,368 solar panels installed
£164,448 avg. yearly savings
£4,111,352 est. lifetime savings
6,229,000 kg CO2 offset (over system lifetime)
~283,136 equivalent trees planted (over system lifetime)
Immediate cost savings and long-term financial gains
Switching to solar has been a game-changer for Gwalia Healthcare, delivering substantial cost savings right from day one. In just the first year, the solar PV system helped Gwalia Healthcare save over £114,000 on energy costs. These savings are not just a one-time benefit; they are set to increase year after year, with total accumulated cash flow projected to exceed £4.1 million over the next 25 years.
With a swift payback period of just 3.6 years and an impressive internal rate of return (IRR) of 31.31%, the decision to invest in solar has proven to be a sound financial strategy. This shift not only reduces Gwalia Healthcare's operating expenses but also strengthens their financial position, demonstrating the significant economic benefits of renewable energy investment.
The savings on electricity costs are particularly remarkable given the system's ability to produce energy at just £0.0501 per kWh, far below typical grid electricity rates. By locking in these low energy costs, Gwalia Healthcare is effectively insulated from future increases in electricity prices. This stability ensures consistent and predictable energy expenses, allowing for better financial planning and a stronger bottom line.
Environmental impact and energy independence
In addition to the financial advantages, Gwalia Healthcare is making a significant contribution to environmental sustainability. The solar PV installation avoids the emission of 249,160 kg of CO₂ each year, equivalent to planting approximately 11,325 trees annually. Over the system's 25-year lifetime, this translates to a total offset of around 283,136 trees' worth of carbon dioxide — a substantial reduction in their carbon footprint.
By generating and using clean energy onsite, Gwalia Healthcare has achieved a self-sufficiency level of 24.4%. This level of independence provides substantial protection against fluctuating energy prices and reduces the facility's reliance on the national grid. With 93.9% of the energy produced being consumed directly onsite, the system ensures that Gwalia Healthcare maximises its solar investment while simultaneously supporting its sustainability goals.
Tailored solar solution for maximum efficiency
The solar solution we designed for Gwalia Healthcare is tailored to their specific needs, optimising both performance and cost savings. The installation includes 1,368 high-efficiency solar panels and 9 inverters, together generating an impressive output of 581.4 kWp.
This system is carefully configured to take full advantage of the available roof space across multiple elevations, ensuring optimal energy production throughout the year. Our advanced design achieves a performance ratio of 94.52%, delivering reliable energy output and maximum efficiency.

In recent years, the UK energy market has been anything but predictable. As shown by the sharp spikes and fluctuations in electricity prices over the past two decades, businesses have faced unprecedented uncertainty and rising costs. The 12-month rolling percentage change in electricity prices shows dramatic volatility, with significant peaks and troughs driven by global events, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical tensions, and evolving market conditions.
This volatility isn't just a financial headache—it’s a risk that can seriously undermine your business's stability and profitability. If you’re heavily reliant on grid-supplied electricity, you're probably feeling the impact of these market fluctuations on your bottom line. But there's a way to regain control over your energy costs: Commercial Solar Power.
Switching to solar can help stabilise your energy costs and future-proof your business. By generating your own electricity, you reduce your reliance on the unpredictable grid, shielding yourself from sudden price surges and long-term increases. Solar power lets you lock in a consistent, reliable source of energy, so you can manage costs more effectively and plan with confidence, even in a market that’s constantly changing.
You can reduce your grid reliance by up to 70% depending on your business's energy use patterns and the size of the system you install with Evans Energy.
On top of that, going solar helps you stay ahead of the game as the UK shifts towards renewables. It keeps you in step with future regulations and shields you from potential carbon taxes, all while showing your commitment to sustainability. Not only does this make your business more resilient, but it also boosts your appeal to customers and partners who care about the planet.
Now’s the perfect time to explore how commercial solar power can help protect your business from the uncertainty of energy markets. With government incentives, lower technology costs, and a chance to cut your operational expenses, investing in solar is a smart move towards a stable and sustainable future.
Evans Energy can support your transition and install a system that protects you against the volatility of the market.
