Solar panels after professional cleaning, restored to peak efficiency.

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.”

The Stunning Solar Transformation of Two Terraced Homes

As a family-run business, we were thrilled to work with a lovely family in Nantgaredig to enhance their two, terraced homes with cutting-edge solar PV systems.

For the daughter’s end-terraced house, we set up a 3.4 kWp system with 5 solar panels, tailored to her home’s unique features. Her parents’ home got an even more robust 4.2 kWp system with 10 panels, designed to meet their larger energy needs.

We took great care in planning both installations to capture the most sunlight and fit seamlessly with the slate roofs and unique features of each home.

Project Highlights

Location: Nantgaredig, Wales
System Size:
3.4 kWp System (5 panels) – Daughter’s Home
4.2 kWp System (10 panels) – Parents’ Home
Payback Period: 7–8 years

The Benefits:

The results have been fantastic!

The daughter will see £19,057 in savings over her system’s lifetime, with her investment paying off in just 7 years. Her parents are looking at an impressive £27,624 in savings and a payback period of just over 8 years.

Their system is so efficient, it’s producing 142% of their energy needs from solar power alone!

The end result? A boost in energy efficiency and significant long-term savings that make it clear this was a smart and rewarding investment for the whole family.

Customer Feedback:

The client was impressed with how we at Solar Save Renewables handled everything, from our clear communication to how smoothly we worked with their builders throughout the solar PV installation.

“Solar Save Renewables were straightforward and easy to work with and liaised really well with the builders who were re-roofing my property to provide the most appropriate solar PV system for my home. Everything was explained really well throughout, on paper and in person, the electrician was superb, it was great value and I would highly recommend the company to prospective buyers. They really know their stuff.”

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
System Size: 5.22kWp (12 Panels)
Annual Savings: £2300 (~60% reduction)
Payback Period: 4.2 years
CO₂ Reduction: 3.2 tonnes/year

 

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.
