How It Works
htpNRG Solar offers comprehensive Solar Photovoltaic Electric Upgrades for hotel owners. In a unique arrangement, htpNRG's clients, the hotels, can offset the costs of equipment, installation, and maintenance by trading a portion of their unsold room inventory, referred to as underperforming assets.
htpNRG helps hotels reduce energy costs by 70-75% with solar panels—without spending cash. Instead of traditional payment, you use rooms that would otherwise sit empty.
For instance, consider an 80-unit hotel with a 65% occupancy, leaving approximately 28 rooms unsold every night. With htpnrg, hotels have the opportunity to significantly reduce their energy costs, potentially achieving a 70-75% reduction.
Three Simple Steps
htpNRG takes the initiative to prepay for the solar equipment and complete installation on behalf of the hotel. In return, htpNRG receives Electronic Room Vouchers as payment.
We Install Solar Panels at Your Hotel
htpNRG covers the full cost of purchasing and installing commercial-grade solar equipment with battery system at your property. Our nationwide team of experienced installers handles everything from permits to installation, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily operations.
You pay nothing upfront. No cash out of pocket. No loans. No lease payments.
You Pay Using Unsold Room Inventory
Instead of cash, you compensate htpNRG with Electronic Room Credit Vouchers from your unsold rooms. Think of these as digital credits for rooms that would otherwise generate zero revenue.
We limit our use to a maximum of 7%-10% of your total room capacity per night. This means if you have 100 rooms, we will use no more than 7-10 rooms per night, ensuring we never interfere with your regular paying guests or peak season bookings. The Room Credit vouchers are issued and tracked through our secure blockchain-based platform, giving you complete transparency and control.
You Start Saving Immediately
Once your solar system is operational, you begin cutting your electricity bills immediately—typically by 70-75%. Those savings go straight to your bottom line, month after month, year after year.
Meanwhile, htpNRG fills those rooms with our network of B2B distributors and corporate club members who book using our electronic room credit voucher system. You get real guests who spend money on food, beverages, and other services—without competing with your direct bookings.
Real Numbers: An 80-Room Hotel
Let's look at a typical scenario:
- Your hotel has 80 rooms
- Current average occupancy: 65%
- Unsold rooms per night: 28 rooms (35% vacancy)
- Current monthly electricity bill: $6-8,000
After htpNRG Installation:
- Monthly electricity bill$0-$3,500
- Monthly savings$4,500-$6,000
- Annual savings$54,200-$72,000
• htpNRG uses maximum 7-10% of rooms = 6-8 rooms per night
• You still have 20-22 vacant rooms available for other distribution channels
• This represents additional savings by avoiding typical utility rate escalations of 3.5%–4.9% annually, which on an average $8,000 yearly utility cost can amount to approximately $230,000–$260,000 over 20 years.
“Result: Massive energy savings while turning empty rooms into a valuable asset—without affecting your existing business.”
This innovative approach ensures that htpNRG utilizes no more than a limited number of guests per night, capped at 7% of the hotel's maximum inventory. This symbiotic arrangement allows hotels to embrace sustainable energy solutions without upfront financial burdens.
Why This Works for Hotels
No Financial Risk
You're not taking out loans or tying up capital. You're simply exchanging rooms that would otherwise earn nothing for a valuable energy asset that pays for itself.
Immediate Cash Flow Improvement
Lower energy bills mean more money in your pocket every single month. The savings start the moment your system goes live.
No Impact on Your Core Business
The 7-10% room cap ensures we never compete with your direct bookings, group sales, or OTA reservations. Your existing revenue streams remain completely intact.
Additional Revenue Opportunities
htpNRG guests are real customers who dine at your restaurant, order room service, use your spa, and book future stays. Every voucher-booked room creates ancillary revenue opportunities.
Environmental Leadership
You'll meet sustainability goals, reduce your carbon footprint, and appeal to eco-conscious guests and corporate clients—all while cutting costs.
Protection from Rising Energy Costs
Lock in low energy costs for decades. While other hotels face unpredictable utility increases, your costs remain stable and dramatically lower.
Sustainable Practices
The htpNRG program aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 by delivering clear, measurable climate impact at both the property level and at scale. On an annual basis, participating hotels collectively reduce approximately 3,000 tons of CO₂ emissions, generate more than 3.36 million kWh of clean solar energy, and achieve an environmental benefit equivalent to planting over 11,400 trees.
Over a 20-year operating life, that impact compounds significantly offsetting roughly 60,000 tons of CO₂, producing more than 67 million kWh of renewable energy, and delivering an environmental benefit comparable to planting over 228,000 trees. These outcomes directly support global goals for climate action, affordable and clean energy, and environmental stewardship, demonstrating how htpNRG transforms hotel participation into lasting climate impact while strengthening long-term financial performance.
When this model is scaled across 500 participating hotels, the global implications are transformative. On an annual basis, such a network would reduce approximately 1.5 million tons of CO₂, generate more than 1.68 billion kWh of clean solar energy, and deliver an environmental benefit equivalent to planting over 5.7 million trees. Over a 20-year horizon, the cumulative impact would reach approximately 30 million tons of CO₂ avoided, more than 33.6 billion kWh of renewable energy produced, and an environmental equivalent of over 114 million trees planted. At this scale, htpNRG evolves from an energy solution into a climate infrastructure platform—demonstrating how distributed clean energy across hospitality assets can meaningfully accelerate global decarbonization while delivering durable financial and operational benefits for hotel owners and brands alike.
How the Electronic Voucher System Works
You might have heard us mention "blockchain" or "electronic vouchers." Don't let the tech jargon worry you—it's actually quite simple.
Think of it as a digital record-keeping system. When you agree to work with htpNRG, we create Electronic Room CreditVouchers (EVouchers) that represent stays at your hotel. These vouchers are tracked on a secure digital ledger called blockchain—the same technology that makes online banking safe.
Here's what this means for you:
- Every credit voucher issued and redeemed is automatically recorded
- You have real-time visibility into how many vouchers have been used
- No one can alter or forge vouchers—the system is tamper-proof
- The room cap is automatically enforced by the system
- You receive regular reports showing exactly how the arrangement is performing
In practical terms, you don't need to understand the technology. You just need to know it works reliably, keeps accurate records, and protects both parties. Our system handles the complexity so you can focus on running your hotel.
