How Camping Salatà’s solar system powers your holiday

Camping Salatà uses on-site solar panels to generate renewable electricity that supplies common areas, helping to cut reliance on conventional grid power. The effect is tangible for guests: the campsite currently produces around 85% of the electricity it consumes from its own installation, a strong indicator that much of the energy supporting shared facilities is locally and renewably sourced.

From a guest’s perspective, this means everyday comforts—lighting, shared amenities, and other communal services—are increasingly powered by the sun. Complementary sustainability measures amplify the impact: a salt-water swimming pool reduces chemical use, and the team operates electric vehicles for rubbish collection and internal mobility to lower on-site emissions.

What the numbers mean (in plain English)

• kW (kilowatts) is a measure of electrical power at a given moment. A live indicator around 85 kW shows the renewable power the site is producing.
• The ~85% figure reflects how much of Camping Salatà’s total electricity consumption is currently covered by its own solar generation.
• Water reuse at 56% highlights closed-loop resource management, reducing demand for fresh water while maintaining guest comfort.

Where can you see the live sustainability metrics?

Guests can view real-time figures on the campsite’s Sustainability page. Updated daily, it clearly shows:

• The current renewable energy being self-generated (around 85 kW)
• The percentage of water currently being reused (around 56%)
