As part of ACCORD Hospice’s commitment to improving sustainability across the organisation, they began investigating solar photovoltaic (solar PV) technology as a way to increase energy efficiency and redirect more resources toward the services they deliver. As they did not have the necessary in-house expertise, they needed specialist Solar PV Feasibility expertise to help progress this project.
Boxfish provided exactly that solar PV Feasibility expertise. We calculated the appropriate size and scale of the system, reassessed all existing quotes against the optimal design, and after managing the tender exercise, worked directly with the chosen supplier to secure the most effective solution for ACCORD.
The system is expected to generate significant annual savings of around £10,000 with every pound saved through greener technology, redirected back into what matters most, providing palliative and end of life care for the hospice’s patients, their families, and the wider community.
Alongside financial savings, the new solar PV system is expected to reduce ACCORD’s carbon footprint by 12.5 tonnes of CO₂ per year, supporting their long-term sustainability goals.
