Cygnet Derby: A Solar-Powered Future

As part of a growing commitment to sustainable healthcare infrastructure, Cygnet Hospital Derby—an established mental health facility in the UK—partnered with us to implement a high-performance solar PV system. The goal was to reduce operational emissions, lower energy costs, and align with broader environmental targets without disrupting vital clinical services. This case study outlines the project’s scope, technical delivery, and the measurable outcomes achieved in its first year.

Empowering Mental Health Care with Sustainable Energy: Cygnet Hospital Derby's Solar Initiative

In December 2022, Cygnet Hospital Derby—a 50-bed facility providing specialized mental health services—commissioned a 144.69 kWp solar PV system comprising 318 high-efficiency panels. This installation generates approximately 134,102 kWh annually, reducing the hospital’s carbon footprint by 22.9 tonnes CO2e/year —equivalent to planting over 1,093 trees. By integrating renewable energy, the hospital enhances its commitment to sustainability, ensuring a greener environment that supports the well-being of its patients and the broader community

Sustainable Energy in Action: Results One Year On


One year after installation, the solar PV system at Cygnet Hospital Derby is proving its long-term value—not just in energy generation, but in environmental and operational impact. With over 283 MWh of clean energy produced and more than 115 tons of coal saved, the system continues to support the hospital’s critical care services while lowering energy costs and reducing carbon emissions. This project stands as a powerful example of how healthcare providers can lead the way in sustainable infrastructure without compromising on care quality.
