Solar panels, a new energy source for our mobile homes

énergie renouvelable camping

Controlling energy consumption is one of our major concerns and in the current context of rising energy costs and the ecological crisis, it was obvious we should invest in renewable energy.

Holidaymakers are increasingly equipped with electrical appliances and the level of comfort in our accommodation is constantly improving. Our challenge involves meeting holidaymakers’ energy needs while favouring more environmentally friendly energy sources.

We, therefore, conducted a trial in 2022 and installed solar panels on 4 mobile homes in Europe using an energy-neutral system supplied by the company Hertzinger (Netherlands). Preliminary results confirmed that the solar panels installed on 1 mobile home could in fact cover the energy needs of almost 2 mobile homes.

As a result, we have decided to extend the scheme to cover 50 to 100 accommodation units in Holland, Italy and Spain.

This initiative involves 2 of the group’s brands headed by:

Eurocamp
Roan
Maud Fredrix
Maud Fredrix, Operations Director at Roan Camping Holidays
Nick Riggs
Nick Riggs, Product Director at Eurocamp

Together, they say: “Our customers love the sun… and love it even more when it also heats up their shower water!”
