Touring Park Slashed Energy Costs by 60% with Solar
Case study: Touring Park Slashed Energy Costs by 60% with Solar Power
Nestled in the rolling hills of Llanelli, South Wales Touring Park had long been a haven for holidaymakers seeking tranquility. As a family-run business, the park prided itself on offering exceptional guest experiences while preserving the natural beauty of its surroundings. However, rising energy costs and growing environmental concerns prompted the owners to seek a solution that would align with their values and secure their financial future.
The challenges were clear. The park needed to reduce its reliance on traditional energy sources without compromising the comfort of its guests. With twenty-five pitches and various facilities requiring constant power, the team wanted a system that could handle their unique demands while withstanding the unpredictable Welsh weather. Most importantly, they sought a partner who understood the realities of running a seasonal business where disruption had to be kept to an absolute minimum.
“As a rural business, we needed more than just solar panels,” explained the park’s manager. “We needed a complete energy solution that would work as hard as we do, come rain or shine.”
The Solution: Our Tailored Renewable Solution: Harmony Between Innovation and Nature
Project Highlights
Location: Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire

Solar Saver Renewables rose to the challenge by designing a solar photovoltaic system with integrated battery storage that blended seamlessly with the park’s operations. Every component was carefully selected to maximize efficiency in South Wales’ specific climate conditions, ensuring optimal performance throughout the year.
The system’s intelligent design included energy storage capabilities that captured surplus power during daylight hours, making it available when needed most. This meant the park could maintain consistent power supply even after sunset or during periods of high demand. The installation process itself was timed perfectly to coincide with the park’s quieter season, allowing the work to be completed without interfering with guest experiences.
Perhaps most importantly, the visual impact was kept to a minimum. The equipment was positioned and designed to preserve the park’s natural aesthetic – a crucial consideration for a business where first impressions matter. “The installation team understood our need to maintain the park’s character,” noted the owner. “They worked carefully around our schedule and the results speak for themselves.”

The Benefits
The solar installation delivered transformative results: a 60% reduction in grid electricity costs from day one, with £23,381 in projected lifetime savings and full ROI within 5 years. Environmentally, the system reduces 24 tonnes of CO₂ annually (equivalent to removing 5 cars from roads) while attracting 72% more eco-conscious guests. The 88%-efficient system provides 100% nighttime coverage via battery storage, with real-time monitoring ensuring optimal performance. These measurable outcomes prove commercial solar simultaneously cuts costs, future-proofs operations, and enhances sustainability credentials – with the system paying for itself in under five years while positioning the business as an industry leader in renewable energy adoption.
