This site is an independent guide to solar PV for UK holiday parks, caravan parks, lodge parks, glamping sites and campsites. It is published by SEO Dons Ltd and it is not an installer. A park's electricity demand is intensely seasonal, and a quote built on a generic commercial template, sized to a flat 24/7 load that a holiday park simply does not have, will mislead. The guides here start from the occupancy calendar and half-hourly meter data instead, because that seasonality is the whole story.
Why this site focuses on caravan and holiday parks
Holiday parks are one of the strongest, and most misunderstood, solar cases in UK leisure. The standard objection is "our demand is all in summer, so won't the panels sit idle half the year?" The answer is that the highest-value loads, swimming pool heating, shower-block hot water, kitchen and bar refrigeration and increasingly guest EV charging, peak in exactly the sunny months when the panels generate most. In-season self-consumption is naturally very high, and in the quiet winter a park can export under the Smart Export Guarantee. Once that match is understood, a park becomes a better candidate than a year-round office, not a worse one. The guides on this site are built around modelling it properly.
How this site works
You can read the cost, grants and FAQ pages without sending anything. If you send an enquiry through the quote form it comes to SEO Dons Ltd, the publisher of this guide, and we reply by email. This site does not install solar, does not give a fixed price and does not promise a reply time. Everything here is general information: get a written quote and a site survey from an installer before relying on any figure for a specific project.
What the guides cover
The guides follow the standards that govern park electrical installations: BS 7671 Section 708 for caravan and camping park distribution and Section 702 for swimming pool plant rooms. They also cover coastal salt-resistant specifications for seaside parks, off-grid solar-plus-battery systems for remote touring and glamping sites where a grid extension would be very expensive, and phased multi-park roll-outs for groups that want a standardised design and central monitoring across every site. The BS 7671 condition survey of pitch pillars and amenity-block electrics, the G99 grid connection application, planning in National Parks and AONBs, and the Workplace Charging Scheme paperwork for guest EV charging are the things park owners most often find awkward, and each is explained.
Where the numbers come from
Cost, payback and tax-relief figures are indicative ranges for UK holiday parks, not quotes. The cost page sets out cost per kW by system size and the grants and funding guide explains which reliefs apply to a park. The savings calculator lets you change the assumptions yourself.
