Powering Off-Grid Luxury – A Smart Start for a New Glamping Site
When the owners of 3 Trees Glamping launched their brand-new site in Wirksworth, nestled in the heart of the Peak District, they had a clear vision: deliver a luxury guest experience without compromising on sustainability.
The site consists of:
4 fully electric luxury glamping pods, each with heating, hot water, cooking appliances, showers, and TVs🛠️ A central site office, also fully electric
With no access to mains gas and a desire to avoid noisy or polluting generators, the challenge was clear: how to power the site efficiently, quietly, and with a minimal carbon footprint?
That’s when they brought in Fusion Solar UK.
Tailored Solar + Battery System Built for Rural Hospitality
Our team carried out a detailed site analysis and usage forecast to design a system that would not only offset the site’s predicted energy use, but also store excess power for use in the mornings and evenings – when guest demand is highest.
We installed:
✅ A 12.29kWp solar PV system
✅ A 24kWh battery storage unit, allowing for day/night flexibility
✅ A smart monitoring system to optimise performance year-round
The new setup ensures the glamping pods and site office are powered sustainably, aligning perfectly with the brand’s eco-friendly ethos.
Annual electricity savings of £2,630
Payback in 6 years 6 months
📈 ROI of 17.9%
2.6 tonnes of CO₂ saved annually
Beyond the numbers, the system enhances the guest experience by offering quiet, uninterrupted power while reinforcing the brand’s sustainability credentials – a growing factor in holidaymakers' decision-making.
At Fusion Solar UK, we help glamping sites, eco-resorts, and rural accommodations design and install solar and battery systems that are smart, silent, and sustainable.
Whether you’re building from scratch or upgrading an existing site, we’ll help you reduce running costs and make your business greener from the start.
