If LEGOLAND Can Go Solar, Why Can’t You?
When LEGOLAND Windsor recently announced a landmark solar carport installation, generating over 1.1 million kWh of renewable electricity each year, it sent a clear signal:
Solar power isn’t just for commercial giants anymore — it’s for everyone.
At The Little Green Energy Company (TLGEC), we weren’t involved in the LEGOLAND project, but we’re excited to see this kind of high-profile investment happening right here in the South East. Because the same high-performance solar tech powering theme parks is available to homeowners across Kent, Sussex, Surrey, and beyond.
What’s Happening at LEGOLAND Windsor?
- A 1.2MW solar carport is being installed over the LEGOLAND Windsor Resort car parks
- It will generate enough energy to power over 400 homes
- The project will offset 195 tonnes of carbon emissions annually
- Solar will directly supply the new Woodland Village, LEGOLAND’s first carbon-neutral accommodation
For LEGOLAND, solar means clean energy, lower costs, and a better experience for guests.
But what about for your home?
Solar Power for Real Homes in the South East
While large-scale projects make headlines, it’s the quiet transformation happening on rooftops that’s just as powerful.
Homeowners across the South East — in Guildford, Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells, Ashdown Forest, and beyond — are choosing solar to:
- Cut energy bills
- Gain energy independence
- Reduce their environmental impact
- Increase the value of their home
And they’re doing it with the help of trusted local specialists like TLGEC.
Case Study: 245 Years of History Meets Modern Solar Power in East Sussex
When Tom Patterson, an IT executive, and his wife renovated their 245-year-old cottage in Ashdown Forest, sustainability was non-negotiable.
But installing solar on a heritage home with three-phase electrics, aesthetic concerns, and no gas connection? That’s a serious challenge.
“TLGEC not only delivered a brilliant solar and battery system — their expert advice on our three-phase setup shaped the whole home energy design.”
— Tom Patterson, Homeowner, Ashdown Forest
The Solution:
- 16 in-roof SunPower Maxeon panels (6.64kWp system)
- Tesla Powerwall 3 with Backup Gateway 2
- Annual generation: 6,860 kWh
- Annual CO₂ offset: 1,330 kg
Thanks to the in-roof solar panels, the system blends seamlessly with the home’s architecture — preserving its historic charm while transforming its energy future.
Tom’s summer energy bills dropped from £500–£600/month to just £20–£30, thanks to solar generation and smart battery use.
“The TLGEC team gave me confidence from day one — their experience with complex systems made all the difference.”
