Solar panel installation programme for Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust

Overview

Carmelcrest were appointed by Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust to deliver a programme of solar panel installations across a number of hospital and clinic sites. The scheme formed part of the Trust’s wider commitment to reducing carbon emissions and improving the energy efficiency of its estate.

Challenges

Works were carried out across multiple live healthcare environments, requiring careful coordination to minimise disruption to patients, staff, and visitors. Each site presented unique logistical challenges, from access restrictions through to integration with existing building services and roof structures.

Our Approach

Carmelcrest undertook all associated enabling works to prepare each site for installation, including fabric adjustments and service modifications where required. The solar arrays were installed with strict attention to safety, compliance, and quality standards, while maintaining clear communication with the Trust’s estates team to ensure clinical operations continued unaffected.

Outcomes

The installations provided the Trust with a sustainable, long-term energy solution that reduces operational costs and carbon footprint across its estate.
