The Swansea chef powering her mobile barista bar with solar energy after 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 using solar panels while selling her coffee at festivals and events across South Wales in between basing the business in Swansea Marina.
