🌿 Powering Creativity Off the Grid in Tring
How we brought clean energy to a willow sculpture workshop with no access to mains electricity
When a local artisan in Tring needed to power their brand-new barn workshop — without any connection to the national grid — Platinum Electrical Solutions stepped in with a bespoke solar + battery solution that’s as creative as the sculptures made inside.
⚡ The Challenge: Power, but no grid
Set on a rural plot where willow trees are grown and hand-sculpted, the barn had no access to mains electricity — but needed to run lighting and power tools year-round. Our goal? Deliver a completely off-grid renewable energy system that could power the workshop day and night.
The Solution: Solar + Storage + Smart Inverter
☀️Inverter: Iconica 8000W 48V
🔋Battery Storage: 2 x Pylontech US5000 units (10kWh total)
💡Solar Panels: 7 x Aiko Neostar 465W panels
⚡️Estimated Output: Over 3,000 kWh annually
This setup allows the artisan to run their lighting and tools using direct solar power during the day. After sunset, the stored 10kWh of energy provides enough power to continue working well into the evening — all from renewable energy.
“It’s a great example of how we can harness clean energy in even the most remote settings — no grid required,” says the Platinum team.
💡 Why this matters
As more businesses and creatives seek ways to operate sustainably, off-grid solar installations are becoming a smart alternative. Whether you're running a rural business, remote office, or small workshop, Platinum can design a system tailored to your unique needs.
