Cwtch Dental: Clean Energy for a Care-First Practice

At Cwtch Dental in Cardiff, Owen Evans believes in offering more than just excellent dental care—he's built a practice around comfort, sustainability, and genuine community care. "Cwtch" is Welsh for "hug," and that spirit of warmth shapes every aspect of the experience Owen wants for his customers. For him, sustainable energy was the natural next step. When daily energy costs started to rise, Owen took a close look at the numbers—his practice consumed between 150 and 200kWh a day, running everything from dental chairs to sterilisation equipment. Driven by both environmental responsibility and the need to manage overhead, he decided to invest in home battery storage paired with solar to reduce his practice's carbon offset and secure long-term energy savings. Owen's team installed the EcoFlow PowerOcean Three-phase system, which now powers every piece of dental equipment, seamlessly blending solar and grid power. With the EcoFlow PowerInsight Panel, Owen uses AI energy management to perform peak shaving and monitor real-time energy use, to see exactly how solar energy is being leveraged throughout the day. "We're filling the batteries in the evenings and running on solar during the day—our bills have dropped dramatically, and we're seeing good, clean power every day," he says. For Owen, the shift isn't just about cost savings—it's about creating a healthier, more sustainable practice that reflects the values of Cwtch Dental. His customers feel the difference, too: a clinic that's committed to their wellbeing and to the wellbeing of the planet. This project was made possible by Cardiff's trusted Green Energy Solar installer and stands as a great example of how powerful solar can be—not just for homes but for forward-thinking local businesses, too.
