Bringing Energy Savings and Smarter Homes to Maes Yr Awel

Residents at Maes Yr Awel are already seeing the benefits of new renewable energy technology installed as part of Caredig’s ongoing commitment to improving the energy efficiency of its homes.

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have recently been installed at properties across the development, helping residents generate their own clean electricity, reduce their reliance on grid energy, and lower household energy costs.

Using the SolaX app, residents can monitor how much solar energy their systems are generating in real time, giving them greater control over their energy use. By making the most of free electricity produced during daylight hours, households can maximise the benefits of their solar panels and reduce their energy bills.

The positive impact is already being felt by residents. One household has reported savings of around £55 per month on their energy bills since the system was installed. While savings will vary depending on energy usage and household circumstances, the technology is helping residents make meaningful reductions in their energy costs.

“We’ve found the SolaX app really useful for tracking our solar generation, and we’ve noticed a reduction in our energy bills since the system was installed.”

Alongside the solar PV systems, homes have also been equipped with Aico HomeLINK environmental sensors. These devices allow residents to monitor conditions such as temperature and humidity through the HomeLINK app, providing valuable insights into indoor air quality and helping them better understand how their homes are performing.

Supporting Sustainable Homes

The improvements at Maes Yr Awel demonstrate how renewable technologies can help residents take greater control of their energy use while supporting Caredig’s wider decarbonisation ambitions.

As more homes across Caredig benefit from similar energy-efficiency upgrades, residents will have increasing opportunities to reduce their energy costs, improve comfort, and enjoy the advantages of smarter, more sustainable homes.
