Utilisation
A solarium pays for itself when people like to use it. Best of all, it becomes a matter of course for your livery clients. For that it has to hang where they groom and tack up anyway, not in a corner.
For riding stables and livery yards.
For a business a solarium is an investment that has to pay off. That is why the calculation comes first here, followed by what else matters in everyday stable life.
01
Your figures
We calculate with what you enter, not with assumptions of our own. We derive the power consumption from the unit's connected load and the length of a session.
What this calculation does not include: changing lamps, maintenance, installation and the payment system. Nor does it allow for fluctuations in utilisation: it assumes that the number of sessions entered is actually reached. The result is your calculation with your figures, not a commitment from us.

What else matters.
Four things count for at least as much in everyday stable life as the payback period.
2
Billing
It is most convenient when the unit does the billing itself. We supply coin machines and chip card machines as accessories. Which system suits depends on whether you work with regular livery clients or with changing guests.
3
Year-round
A pure heater stands idle from May to September, and the purchase is spread over seven months instead of twelve. The Solaride Profi keeps running as a fan in summer. That is the difference the calculation above shows through the days of use.
4
Spare parts
In continuous use the question is not the purchase price but what happens in year four. Every item in our units can be reordered individually, because we assemble them ourselves. Lamps are covered by the guarantee for two years, except the UV lamps.

Frequently asked questions.
Briefly answered. The calculator above works with your own figures.
Does a horse solarium pay for itself in a riding stable?
That depends on your own figures: price per session, sessions per day, electricity costs and days of use decide when the purchase pays for itself. The payback calculator on this page works with the values you enter yourself.
What matters more in running a stable than the purchase price alone?
Four things: utilisation, because the unit should hang where grooming and tacking up happen anyway; billing by coin machine or chip card machine; year-round use, because a pure heater stands idle in summer while the Solaride Profi then keeps running as a fan; and spare parts, because every item can be reordered individually.

Fifteen minutes on the phone do more for a business than any form. We will also tell you if a unit is not worth it at your level of utilisation.
