Featured Green Developments
Introduction
In 2014 we decided to build a home that would eliminate the reliance on fossil fuels and eliminate fuel poverty. We wanted to help the environment and boost the local economy at the same time. We started with a very simple premise, that the sun was the biggest source of untapped energy in the universe and that we should seek every means possible by this use of technology and astute design to maximise this celestial power source. We decided to throw out every preconception on building a home and start with a clean sheet of paper. The result was TY Solar (means Solar House).
We designed and built T? Solar® – a prototype solar house that consumes just 12% of the energy of a traditional house. And then we built Wales’ first solar hamlet of affordable homes – which is now home to six families and is run by ATEB.
Now we are delighted to announce the unique opportunity for potential home owners to purchase a Ty Solar© Home powered by the sun within our new development of five, 4 bed ultra low energy homes, with home office in the beautiful and well located area of Boncath in Pembrokeshire.

LOCALLY SOURCED WOOD
Timber from nearby Ffynnone Woods between Newchapel and Bwlchygroes is being used for cladding. This was brought to the nearby Calon yn Tyfu sawmill by a mule drawn dray.

The Development
Ty Solar Garden Village, Boncath
Here’s a unique opportunity to purchase a Ty Solar© Home powered by the sun, designed to save the planet AND promote your wellbeing. Each home is built to exacting standards, you’ll be close to the idyllic Preseli hills and 10 minutes from the beautiful beaches of Cardigan Bay.
The Scandinavian styled design homes – clad in locally sourced Douglas Fir –are not only pleasing to the eye but help in the fight to reduce carbon emissions with all-year-round natural light and space heating, EV car charging, integrated solar, Tesla powerwall, 11 inches of insulation, and more.
Each home has the potential to save 70,000 tons of CO2 equivalent to planting 200,000 trees, and being a Garden village you'll find communal gardens as well as private gardens with well planted shrubs and fruit trees. The homes will have an A+ EPC Rating and a 12-year builder’s guarantee backed by Checkmate.
