Background: Who is Matt Morsia?

Matt Morsia is one of the UK’s most recognisable fitness influencers, YouTubers, and athletes. Known online as MattDoesFitness, he’s built a massive audience of over 2 million subscribers by sharing his fitness journey, training routines, and family life with humour and authenticity. A former elite athlete, Matt is also now one of the newest stars of the BBC’s Gladiators reboot, where he appears as Legend – a nod to both his strength and larger-than-life personality.

As someone deeply committed to high performance, both physically and professionally, Matt wanted his home to reflect the same energy – especially the gym and pool areas where he spends a lot of his time.

The Installation

We worked with Matt to design and install a custom solar energy system tailored to the unique layout and high-energy demands of his home gym and pool facilities.

The System at a Glance:

  • 19 sleek black panels were installed across the gym and pool roof, providing maximum efficiency without compromising aesthetics.
  • A SolaX Power 8 kW inverter handles energy conversion, delivering reliable performance day after day.
  • A 10.44 kWh SolaX Power battery stores excess energy for use during peak demand times or at night, helping Matt get the most from his system.

The Results: Cost Savings and Carbon Reductions

Matt’s system is expected to generate over 7,000 kWh per year, reducing reliance on the grid and resulting in lifetime savings of more than £61,000 on electricity bills. But the impact isn’t just financial:

Each year, the system prevents the release of 2 tons of CO₂, equivalent to:

  • 52,702 car kilometres avoided
  • 339 trees planted
  • 38 long-haul flights taken off the map

Performance, Sustainability, and Peace of Mind

This installation shows how solar can be seamlessly integrated into a modern lifestyle without compromising on performance, aesthetics, or flexibility. Matt now powers his training space and home with clean energy — setting an example for sustainable living that matches his commitment to health and long-term wellbeing.
