Case Study

Bigbury Camping Barn

The Client

Ideally situated for a Solar thermal array, Cathy and Gordon Case are the owners of Lower Willings Farm at Bigbury, overlooking the sea in the beautiful South Hams of Devon. In the first place, as established organic growers, they have been growing organic vegetables for years.

With this in mind, they have created Bigbury Camping Barn in this beautiful setting. The barn is a farm holiday accommodation with easy access to the wonderful South Devon Coast and panoramic views over Bigbury Bay.

To be sure, this is genuine farm camping – a purpose-built barn in a highly scenic location.

The Challenge

In August 2018 IU Energy was asked to design, supply and install a solar thermal array and hot water cylinders. This was specifically to provide hot water to the new camping barn.

Our proposal was for the installation and commissioning of a Solar Thermal system onto the roof of the new building. IU Energy conducted a site survey to produce the proposal.
