A low-carbon technology firm has stepped in to support a community allotment with solar energy.
Van Ward Allotments, in Castle Park, Caerphilly is a community space bringing together around 100 members. Recently, the allotments faced a challenge with an off-grid system that was installed but failed to operate correctly. Recognising the importance of this community resource, Nuvolt stepped in to help, commissioning the system free of charge, ensuring it became fully operational.
The solar panels installed at the allotments are now powering their “totally green” wellbeing room. This room offers phone charging points and cooking facilities. During the winter months, it will also act as a warm hub, providing a comfortable and warm place for the community to gather.
After the work was completed, Tracey Davies, chair of the allotments said:
“Without electricity we don’t have water, without water our crops would fail. Without electricity we are unable to effectively use our wellbeing room. Nuvolt has saved our projects this year.
“We now have unlimited access to our water and free electricity that is allowing us to access the Hive and all of its facilities, such as the fridge, microwave and kettle.
“I’d like to thank Nuvolt for all their incredible work and knowledge that’s allowed us to become a greener and more sustainable community.”
Gareth Moss, Co-founder and Director at Nuvolt and a resident of Caerphilly, said:
“We are delighted to support the Caerphilly Allotments. As a local resident, I see firsthand the positive impact this space has on our community. By ensuring the off-grid system is fully operational, we hope to enhance the allotments' role as a vital community hub and promote sustainable living practices.”
