Local Business in Llandeilo Cuts Costs and Emissions with Solar PV and Battery Storage
Supporting Sustainable, Rural Businesses in Wales
Our partnership with Stables Wellbeing goes back several years, so we were thrilled when they asked us to design and install a solar energy system for their yoga and wellness retreat in the beautiful village of Trapp, Llandeilo. Known for its holistic approach to wellness and strong commitment to sustainability, the retreat wanted to reduce its environmental impact while providing a comfortable, energy-efficient space for visitors.
This project felt especially meaningful as it brought together two local, family-owned businesses — Solar Save Renewables and Stables Wellbeing — both deeply committed to supporting the community and protecting the environment.
Project Highlights
Location: Trapp, Llandeilo, Wales
System Size: 5.22kWp Solar PV with 11.6kWh Battery Storage
Annual Savings: Reduced Grid Reliance by 65%
Payback Period: Under 5 years
CO₂ Reduction: Approximately 1 ton of CO₂ annually
Solar Save Renewables installed a high-performance 5.22kWp solar PV system using JA Solar panels, chosen for their exceptional efficiency and reliability even in less-than-ideal weather conditions. This makes them an excellent match for Stables Wellbeing’s rural location in Wales, where sunlight can be variable throughout the year.
To complement the solar panels, we integrated advanced battery storage technology. This allows the retreat to store surplus energy generated during sunny periods for use in the evening, at night, or on cloudy days. The battery system ensures a steady and reliable power supply, maximises on-site energy use, and reduces dependence on grid electricity — ultimately lowering operational costs.
The entire system was carefully tailored to meet the specific energy demands of the retreat centre, including power for yoga studios, accommodation, lighting, heating, and other essential operations. By optimising energy capture and storage, the system supports peak demand while maintaining efficiency around the clock.
Additionally, the solar energy setup features real-time monitoring, enabling both Stables Wellbeing and Solar Save Renewables to track production and consumption continuously. This allows us to ensure the system operates at peak performance and respond quickly to any maintenance needs, providing ongoing support for long-term reliability.
