Preseli Pembrokeshire Assembly Member Paul Davies has recently visited Tŷ Solar Homes in North Pembrokeshire to learn more about the project and its upcoming plans for the future. Tŷ Solar Homes employs local people to construct the properties as well as using local timber to maximise the opportunities for the local supply chain.

Mr Davies said, “I was delighted to visit Tŷ Solar Homes, which will be let to those who are currently waiting on the social housing register. The entire operation is not only eco-friendly and very energy efficient, but it also uses the very best local assets and helps keep money in Pembrokeshire’s local economy.”

He added, “The Tŷ Solar units are Wales’ first eco-hamlet and tenants will not only enjoy access to particularly low energy costs, but also to a shared electric car. This is exactly the kind of project that we should be promoting – it’s good for the environment and it’s also good for local people and the local economy. I thoroughly commend Western Solar and I look forward to hearing more about their exciting plans as they develop.”
