Abstract

Purpose: This paper analyses the functioning of a solar panel system at King Hamad University Hospital (KHUH), indicating its part in enhancing sustainability and cost-efficiency. Due to the increasing demand in renewable energy, this study illustrates how healthcare facilities can minimize operational costs using solar energy. Methodology: The study details the integration of solar panels into KHUH’s infrastructure, importance their potential for energy generation. It encompasses a methodical investigation of the project's technical, economic, and environmental scope, aligning with the hospital's commitment to responsible resource management. Findings: The study reveals that KHUH's implementation of solar panels much reduces electricity payment, in this manner present substantial cost savings. It also enhances the hospital's energy safety and leads to an important reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, reflecting its commitment to environmental impacts. Originality: This paper's originality lies in its determined inspection of solar panel integration in a hospital, underlining in cooperation economic and environmental profit. It contributes to the role of renewable energy in healthcare, showcasing KHUH's original role in sustainable and efficient resource management in the medical sector.
