From Gritty to Great: Reviving a 13-Year-Old Solar System

After 13 years of reliable solar energy, our customer noticed their solar panels weren’t performing like they used to and reached out to us for help. Our inspection revealed two major issues: a malfunctioning inverter and meter, and heavily soiled solar panels.

The Solution:

Replacing the Inverter and Meter:

We replaced the old inverter and meter with new, high-quality upgrades. This upgrade was essential because the inverter transforms solar power into usable electricity, and a faulty meter can mess with energy readings and billing.

Cleaning the Solar Panels:

Our team gave the panels a deep clean, removing years of accumulated dirt. Clean panels are key to absorbing as much sunlight as possible and boosting overall system performance.

With these upgrades and a fresh clean, we managed to give the customer’s system a major performance boost, getting it back to peak efficiency.

Customer Feedback

Here’s what our customer had to say about the improvements made to their solar system:

“My solar system of 13 years or so was not generating properly. I contacted Solar Save Renewables to assess the problem and quote for a fix. Petar and his team were excellent from start to finish! They replaced the inverter and meter and also cleaned the (very dirty) solar panels. I was kept informed through the whole process. The quote came through very quickly and the work was complete within 6 weeks of the first contact. Highly recommend without any hesitation.”

Revamping Home Energy: A Solar Makeover in Llandeilo

We recently had the pleasure of working on a project to enhance the energy efficiency of a home in Llandeilo, South Wales.

The property previously relied on oil-fired heating and an electric immersion heater, consuming between 7,000–8,000 kWh annually. Our mission was to reduce their reliance on grid electricity and turn their home into a shining example of energy efficiency.

Here’s how we did it:

We designed a system featuring 10 solar panels facing southeast and 6 panels facing northwest to maximise sunlight capture.

We selected a superior inverter and added power optimizers to ensure every panel performed efficiently, even in the shade.

To complement the 150-year-old Welsh slate roof, we installed sleek, all-black panels that blend seamlessly with the home’s classic look.

Project Highlights

Location: Llandeilo, South Wales, UK
System Size: 16 solar panels (10 SE-facing, 6 NW-facing)
Battery Storage: N/A (grid export system)
Orientation & Technology: Southeast and northwest-facing panels with power optimizers for maximum efficiency
Additional Features: Real-time monitoring and surplus export to Octopus Energy

The Benefits

The results have been incredible. Their daily electricity use dropped to just 6 kWh, greatly reducing their grid dependence. The system handles peak power effortlessly, and thanks to real-time monitoring software, any surplus is swiftly exported to Octopus Energy. On sunny May days, the system can generate up to 38 kWh — 10 kWh for home use and 28 kWh sent back to the grid. With an estimated payback period of just 9 years, they’re set to enjoy substantial savings. They now generate three-quarters of the electricity they once bought, reaping both financial rewards and making a positive impact on the environment.

Customer Feedback

They loved how prompt our responses were, how thorough our assessments were, and how meticulously we handled the installation. They found the whole process smooth and stress-free, reinforcing our reputation for quality and reliability in the local area.
Read on for our customer’s experience in their own words:

“I can highly recommend the enthusiasm, passion, and competence of Solar Save Renewables based in Llandeilo, South Wales. 12 years ago, I had a basic solar system installed by others, and although I am a competent amateur when it comes to cost-effectiveness of solar arrays, the time had now come for my parents’ bungalow to have solar installed.
Daily import pre-solar varied from 30 kWh in winter to 18 kWh in summer, totaling 7–8,000 kWh a year. Post-install, solar import has been as low as 6 kWh a day. Of all the companies contacted, only Solar Save Renewables responded promptly, attended when they said they would, carried out a thorough assessment, and were patient with my elderly parents and myself.
The installation, completed about three weeks later, involved a roofer, an electrician, and the owner of the company working for 2½ days. Impressively, at the end of each day, the site was virtually spotless. All team members were professional, knowledgeable, and easy-going.
After-sales service has been excellent. Petar genuinely seems proud of his work, which is reflected in the positive local reviews. This was a virtually stress-free project, and I can totally recommend Solar Save Renewables.”

Customer Feedback

The Walters praised our team for their professional, knowledgeable service and clear communication. They appreciated the swift, efficient installation and the comprehensive support provided during and after the installation.

“I was initially apprehensive in my search for a suitable company to install a solar energy system at my home. Nevertheless, I came across an advert for Solar Save Renewables, Llandeilo, and arranged a home visit. Within a couple of days of my initial phone call, Petar Pavlov of Solar Save Renewables attended my home and carried out a site survey. From the outset, I was impressed by his professional approach, technical knowledge, and ‘can do’ attitude. He explained everything in layman’s terms and presented a comprehensive quotation suitable for our needs.”

“Within 10 days of signing the relevant paperwork, Petar and his electrician Dan began the installation work. We made a last-minute decision to include an additional storage battery, which was ordered and included without delay. The installation package included a 2-year Home Improvement Protection insurance, an MCS Certificate of competence, and a Building Regulations Certificate. Petar and Diana handled all the necessary paperwork and contact with the National Grid, removing the stress for us.”

“The work was completed in a matter of days with minimal disruption to the daily running of our house. We are very pleased with the system that has been fitted, which includes 12 solar panels together with two storage batteries. I would recommend Petar and his team at Solar Save Renewables to anyone considering a solar energy system.”
