Harnessing solar energy to preserve the legacy of a world heritage site for generations to come

Caffi Wylfa is a cafe and visitor centre located in close proximity to a world heritage site and the community hub for the residents of Chirk and a focal point of the community.

The cafe attracts in excess of 50,000 visitors per annum and forms part of the infrastructure to support the world heritage site. However, due to the property being all electric and the ever increasing electricity costs, the future for the property required a sustainable way of reducing the electricity costs.

Preserving Heritage Through Renewable Energy Solutions

It was proposed that Solar PV would be the solution. This in turn came with its own problems due to objections from local authorities, but working in collaboration with Wardall Armstong to provide a Heritage Impact Statement, we were granted permission to install the Solar PV array and associated battery storage. 

Within the first six months, the following was achieved...

Energy Produced

8.15MWh

Total Savings

£3271.05

Carbon reduced by

8.13T
