Commercial Solar Panel Installation: Holiday Inn Stevenage
Today, we’re excited to shine a light on one of our most impressive commercial solar installations to date, an ambitious project completed for the Holiday Inn in Stevenage. This well-known hotel has taken a bold step into the future by embracing solar energy, and the results speak for themselves.
Imagine this: perched across their expansive rooftop is an impressive array of DMEGC 500-watt solar panels, 127 of them to be exact, giving an impressive 63.5kW output. These high-efficiency panels quietly absorb the sun’s rays day after day, converting them into a powerful stream of clean, green electricity. But the real magic lies in the seamless orchestration of this system, managed by a 50kW FoxESS V Series grid-tied inverter, a reliable engine room that keeps everything running in perfect harmony.
Together, this system delivers an estimated 48,900kWh of renewable energy every year, powering hotel operations while slashing energy costs and cutting carbon emissions. It’s a shining example of sustainability in action, and it’s happening right here in the UK!

- Date: May 2025
Project Hardware
- 127 x 500W DMEGC Solar Panels
- FoxESS 50kW V Series Grid-tied Inverter
Designed for Savings, Built to Last
From the very start, our team worked closely with the Holiday Inn to design a system that would perfectly align with their building structure, operational needs, and long-term sustainability goals.
This isn’t just a solar system, it’s a strategically engineered energy solution designed to deliver:
- £10,787 in annual savings on electricity bills
- An impressive £643,962 in lifetime bill reductions
- A fast payback period of just 3 years and 5 months
In just a few years, this investment will have paid for itself, after that, the savings are all theirs!
Greener Credentials, Bigger Impact
For businesses today, environmental responsibility isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a badge of honour. And this system gives Holiday Inn Stevenage a serious edge:
- 12.4 tonnes of CO₂ emissions avoided every year
- That’s equivalent to:
- Driving 370,170 fewer kilometres
- 2,380 trees planted
- 265 long-haul flights avoided
- That’s equivalent to:
In a world where both customers and regulators are demanding stronger eco-performance from businesses, these numbers make a powerful statement.
Why More Businesses Are Going Solar
Across the UK, commercial energy costs are rising sharply, and businesses of all sizes, from hotels and office buildings to warehouses and manufacturing sites, are feeling the strain. At the same time, expectations around environmental performance are intensifying. Customers, stakeholders, and regulators increasingly expect companies to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, whether through ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) reporting or net-zero pledges. For many, the solution lies above.
Solar energy has quickly become one of the most cost-effective and impactful ways for businesses to take control of their energy future. By investing in a commercial solar system, companies can drastically reduce their reliance on expensive grid electricity, locking in long-term energy savings that continue to deliver year after year. Once installed, solar panels can provide free electricity for decades, and when paired with battery storage, they offer a serious level of energy independence, enabling businesses to store excess energy and use it when it’s most needed.
This also provides a powerful hedge against unpredictable energy price volatility. In industries where operational margins are tight, being able to forecast and manage energy costs more effectively can be a game-changer. Additionally, businesses that embrace solar are sending a strong message to environmentally conscious customers, partners, and investors, demonstrating a clear commitment to reducing their carbon footprint and supporting the UK’s broader net-zero ambitions.
And the benefits don’t stop there. Properties with solar installations often see an uplift in value, thanks to the long-term savings and improved energy efficiency they offer. Plus, in an age of increasing grid strain and power outages, having your own on-site energy generation and storage gives your business added resilience and continuity, something no modern organisation can afford to overlook.
