Solar for Resorts 

The hospitality industry is one of the sectors with the highest energy demand. Hotels and resorts need massive energy to power systems and amenities to ensure their guests are comfortable. This high power consumption contributes to hefty utility bills that can be offset with large-scale solar PV systems.

 

On average, a hotel can save 30-50% of its energy expenses by using solar energy. This can be higher or lower depending on factors such as the size of the solar power system, time of year, and fluctuating energy consumption.

Although large-scale solar power installation is a big upfront investment, it saves on operating costs in the long-run. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, American hotels have saved approximately $290 million on energy and water expenses since 2011 by improving energy efficiency.
