Increasing Home Energy Efficiency: Solar Panel Installation in Llandeilo.
Llandeilo, Wales, UK
The Brief:
At Solar Save Renewables, we recently undertook a project to improve home energy efficiency for a local homeowner in Llandeilo. The property relied on oil-fired central heating and an electric immersion heater, consuming between 7,000 to 8,000 kWh annually. Our goal was to significantly reduce their reliance on grid electricity.
The Solution:
Our design included 10 panels facing southeast and 6 panels facing northwest. We carefully selected an optimal inverter for efficient performance and used power optimizers to maximise efficiency for shaded solar panels. Sleek all-black panels were chosen to seamlessly blend with the 150-year-old Welsh slate roof.

After installation, their daily electricity consumption dropped to as low as 6 kWh, significantly reducing their dependence on the grid. The system's orientation effectively manages peak power output, aided by real-time monitoring software that enables swift export activation to Octopus Energy. During sunny days in May, the system generates up to 38 kW, with 10 kWh used onsite and 28 kWh exported. The estimated payback period is approximately nine years, with annual savings ensuring a strong return on investment.
Our customer now generates three-quarters of their previously imported electricity, promoting environmental sustainability while enjoying the economic benefits of their solar system.
The Benefit: “I can highly recommend the enthusiasm passion and competent of Solar Save Renewables based in Llandeilo south Wales. 12 years ago, I had a basic solar system installed by others, and have been quite used to generating most of my own electricity and exporting it to octupus and getting paid under the old Feed In Tarrif , And although no expert I am a competent amateur when it comes to the cost effectiveness of solar arrays. The time had now come for my parents and their bungalow to have Solar installed. No EV no ASHP and no mains gas for hot water rather oil-fired central heating and hot water tank heated by oil and electric emersion. Daily import pre solar varies from 30kwh winter to 18kwh summer. Total 7-8000 kwh a year. Solar import post install has been as low as 6kwh a day. Of the several companies, both national and local that I contacted only Solar Save Renewables replied promptly and attended when they said they would a few days later, did a thorough assessment and were very social and patient with my elderly parents, and myself by phone /email/text. Discussions on the phone and quite often by email and text to refine and answer queries we answered the same day often within minutes and there was no pressure to take on additional equipment/design. the installation was agreed for about three weeks later, three members of the team a Roofer an Electrician at the owner of the company were on site and worked for 2 1/2 full days. From 08:30 to on one day 19:00! Impressively at the end of each day, it would be virtually impossible to know through any debris dirt or mess that there had been anybody working in or around the the house, and they were meticulous in tidying up, even using his dustpan and brushes. All members of the installation team were very hospitable, easy-going, clearly quite professional and knowledgeable. After sales service and follow-ups of how the installation has been going in the last couple of weeks has been impressive, obviously Petar seems genuinely interested and proud of his work! (Always a good sign). Local reviews are also very positive, and the fact this company has been operating locally for many years is very reassuring. I can highly recommend Solar Save Renewables, we consider them totally trustworthy and fit us it was a virtually stress free project.”
