Hotel & Resort Owners: How to Cut Energy Costs with Hotel Solar Power
In the hospitality industry, operational expenses such as air-conditioning, lighting, boarding, and water heating systems, among other things, are non-negotiable and, for this industry, exorbitant kinetic expenditures, numerically, energy bills outrank operational expenses.
For Indian resort owners and hotellers, grappling with the strenuous demand for oils and the soaring price of energy, implementing a solar grid and ensuring a solar infrastructure would efficiently curtail turning operational cost into long term sustainable savings.
At JSM Energy, we understand the expectations and the financial unrest of hoteliers, which is why we have made it our mission to protect the hospitality industry’s roofs. With a solar infrastructure decade of experience, we ensure loss-free energy for hotels, reduced emissions, and long term operational stability.
Bridging the gap between hotels and resorts, resort owners cut for the balance the sun never fails to provide. For mid and large scale hotels the enforcement of solar panels considerably shifts capital focus as spending shifts electronically with the rise of international air travel.
Implementing hotel solar power solutions not only reduces energy costs but also enhances the overall sustainability of operations.
This sector serves as a virtual goldmine of renewable energy sources for the world. For hotels and resorts around the world, gladly accepting the mid to large scale hotels, the primary solar demand coincides with peak sunshine hours service.
Independence from the energy grid and reduced expenditures are the primary perks of operating in the hospitality industry’s peak periods. Hence, shifting spending to be electronically drag powered provides unparalleled ease and primal boosts to capital focus on energy savings.
Expansive rooftops
The majority of hotels have large terraces or even parking lots. These spaces can serve as ideal locations for installing solar panels because they do not detract from the aesthetics of the hotel or from the areas used by the guests.
Longevity
The investment can be defrayed for the long term and quite efficiently because solar panels can economically generate electricity for more than twenty five years.
Monthly, annually, or yearly.
Now, just looking at it from a holistic viewpoint, a hotel not utilizing solar panels is losing out on saving energy, let’s take a prime example of hotels ranging from small to large:
- Monthly energy expenses for small hotels with 30 to 50 rooms range from ₹1.5 to 2.5 lakhs. This equals to yearly spending of ₹18 to 30 lakhs.
- Monthly energy expenses for mid-size hotels range from 50 to 100 rooms is ₹3 to 5 lakhs which sums up to ₹36 to 60 lakhs annually.
- Monthly energy expenses for large resorts equates to ₹7 to 12 lakhs spending ₹84 lakhs to ₹1.5 crores in an entire year.
- Considering these expenses, a hotel with a properly functioning solar energy system could reduce their spending on energy costs by 50 – 80%.
