Swansea chef converts her mobile café to run on solar energy after watching YouTube videos

A trained chef and barista in Swansea has managed to convert her mobile café enterprise to run entirely on solar power after self-teaching herself electronics by researching online and watching YouTube videos.

Ashley Collins, sole trader of start-up Flynn's Coffee, claims she is no longer reliant on running her diesel van to split charge her leisure batteries which power her barista equipment after learning how to draw power from solar.

She says she can now run her mobile barista venture on solar power while selling her coffee at festivals and events across South Wales in between basing the business in Swansea Marina.
