Low carbon housing features in the government’s new target for 2035. We trust that our efforts over the last 5 years will not be in vain. Onwards and upwards
Another 10 Zero Carbon homes commissioned and occupied by very delighted homemakers in Boncath, Pembrokeshire this week. 7Kw of rooftop PV and 13.8kwH Tesla batteries on these modular timber homes together avoid 70000 tonnes of CO2 over lifecycle. long time in the wilderness
Wood is Good at Ty Solar’s latest solar village, Berllan Aur ( Golden Orchard) in Boncath Pembrokeshire. Let’s hope we have more timber construction in Wales and reduce embodied carbon in new build.

The Heathrow decision is valuable to those of us fighting to develop low carbon housing. Climate Campaigners have the right to challenge any new housing development that does not meet zero carbon targets. Hopfully a shot in the arm for us.

Everyone deserves a warm, dry, safe home to live in. Previous govts’ inaction left too many families living in motels for long periods. Today our Government announced we will support thousands of New Zealanders to move out of emergency housing and into more secure homes ✅✅✅
From humble beginnings in a Pembrokeshire cow shed we're now changing an industry to face a low carbon future.
Our Ty Solar homes at Trefin near completion. Another 4 high quality affordable homes made in Wales transforming trees to keys for the Well Being of Future Generations.
No incentive in the building industry adopting the Future Generations Act's well meaning principles. Public bodies such as RSLs and County Councils need enforceable targets to stop this Act being relegated to the ideological dustbin. IT'S ALL IN THE IMPLEMENTATION.
Ty Solar just got approval from Welsh Government for the biggest all timber low carbon development in Wales of 33 homes. We're over the moon
Housing Minister Rebecca Evans MP came to visit our factory last week. Pictured here with apprentices Tai, Olly, Nigel and Paul (mentor).
UK govt plans to scrap PV export tariffs for new domestic homes like Ty Solar only allowing big generators to do so . Please write to your MP to stop this madness which would destroy any hopes of achieving a low carbon agenda and merely subsidise the big energy companies ?
A terrible decision. Is this the time to think of going off grid? Cancelling the right to export surplus energy is a win for Big Energy. theguardian.com/environment/…

These are the lovely residents of Pentre Solar in Glanrhyd. 2 years ago this was a wasteland, today it has 6 Ty Solar Homes made by a small Welsh rural enterprise, Western Solar. We wish them a happy life.
It’s 0 C outside 22 C inside and we exported 20Kwh to the grid when Eon announced a 2.6% price rise. We need more energy efficient homes.
