Largest Solar Panel Installation in Wales Completes in Wrexham

By North Wales · 27 Aug 2026 · 1 min read

Renewable energy firm, Rawson Solar has completed on its largest solar panel installation to date, also believed to be the largest single rooftop solar installation in Wales, a 2-megawatt system for Net World Sports in Wrexham.

Following a three-stage installation, approximately 4,700 panels have now been installed — enough to power over 600 houses.

The installation has also been futureproofed by installing hybrid inverters in temperature-controlled containers, making the system battery ready — providing even more power through the night.

Rawson Solar is known for its large-scale solar installations, supplying homes and commercial businesses across the country with a range of renewable energy solutions.

The company is thought to have helped offset millions of tonnes in CO2 emissions since in began trading in 2020 — also delivering financial savings, carbon reductions and energy independence for its customers.

John Hughes, Director at Net World Sports, said:

“Installing solar panels across our facility in Wrexham is a major step forward for our business. Not only is it significantly reducing our energy costs and carbon footprint, but it also strengthens our long‑term commitment to operating sustainably within the sports manufacturing industry.

 

“Rawson Solar delivered an exceptional service from start to finish. Their expertise, communication and attention to detail made the entire process seamless, and as a national company, we were pleased to support a local business operating at national standard.”

Ian Williams, Sales Director at Rawson Solar, said:

“As a Wrexham‑based business, we’re incredibly proud to support local organisations in their shift towards cleaner, more efficient energy. Installing this solar system reflects not only our technical expertise but our commitment to strengthening the community we’re part of. Our team takes real pride in delivering high‑quality work that helps local businesses cut costs, reduce emissions and build a more sustainable future for North Wales and beyond.”

What’s more, the company plans to take on more apprentices by the end of 2026, growing its existing 14-strong Wales-based workforce.
