Roof Renovation: The damaged slates on the South elevation of the roof were carefully removed and replaced with integrated solar panels. These solar panels were designed to seamlessly blend with the existing roof material, maintaining the architectural integrity of the house. We have decided to use Viridian integrated solar panels as they are compatible with the widest range of slate and tile including special fixings for different batten thickness.
Solar PV Installation: High-efficiency solar panels with a total capacity of 5.29kWp were strategically placed on the roof to optimise energy generation. The integration of solar panels into the roof eliminated the need for additional mounting structures and further improved the visual appeal of the system.
Battery Storage System: To store excess energy generated during the day, a battery storage system was installed. This system allowed the homeowner to store surplus electricity and use it during periods of low solar generation, such as nighttime or cloudy days. The battery storage system also provided a degree of energy independence and flexibility.
This project involved installing a 2kWp residential Solar PV system with microinverters in Cardiff city centre. The customer had limited space on their roof and requested a solution that would only use one side, while also ensuring minimal visual impact on the property.
We used high-efficiency solar panels with Enphase microinverters to ensure optimal energy production. This setup maximises performance even with limited space, providing the customer with clean, renewable energy and reducing reliance on the grid.
The installation was carried out discreetly, allowing the family to benefit from renewable energy without compromising the building's aesthetics.
We have designed a 2kWp system, consisting of 5 solar panels. However, to optimise the system's energy production, we have incorporated Microinverters during the installation process. This allows for the maximum utilisation of the system's output.
To optimise solar production, each panel is equipped with its own individual Microinverter. This innovative approach ensures that the system can fully maximise its energy output.
Moreover, the Microinverters also use a Burst Mode technology that effectively captures additional energy during low-light situations caused by shadows or clouds. This breakthrough feature enhances the system's performance in challenging environmental conditions.
Another notable advantage of utilising Microinverters is that the homeowner can conveniently track and monitor all import and export data through their mobile phone.
This project involves the installation of a 6 kWp Solar PV system, paired with a biomass boiler and a hot water tank, to provide a comprehensive and sustainable energy solution for the property in Llandovery. The system is designed to meet the homeowner's electricity, heating, and hot water needs while reducing their reliance on fossil fuels and cutting carbon emissions.
The 6 kWp Solar PV system is capable of generating clean, renewable energy from the sun, significantly reducing electricity bills while powering essential household appliances. The energy generated is stored in a system for later use, allowing the property to stay energy-efficient throughout the day and night.
In addition to the solar panels, a biomass boiler was installed to provide sustainable heating throughout the property. The biomass boiler uses renewable organic materials, such as wood pellets, to heat the home, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional gas or oil boilers.
The hot water tank works in conjunction with the solar PV system and biomass boiler, storing hot water for use at any time of day. This ensures a steady supply of hot water for domestic use without relying on electric or gas-powered systems, further enhancing the sustainability of the property.
Our client already had a biomass heating system in place, featuring a large buffer tank and provision for a hot water immersion heater. The aim was to reduce the need to burn wooden pellets during the summer months and instead utilise the excess energy generated by the solar photovoltaic (PV) system to fulfil their hot water needs.
The solution we implemented was a fully integrated system that combines the solar PV, biomass boiler, hot water tank, and Solar PV power diverter. This system optimizes energy usage by ensuring that the energy generated by the solar panels is put to the best possible use.
The smart microgeneration power diverter is the key element in this solution. It continuously monitors the electricity production from the solar PV panels and the energy demand within the property. By installing this Solar PV power diverter, we direct the excess energy generated by the solar panels to the Domestic Hot Water Cylinder instead of exporting it to the National Grid.
This innovative solution enables our customer to make the most of the renewable energy they generate on-site, using it to heat their water for free, especially during the summer months when the biomass boiler would typically be inactive.
The integration of the smart microgeneration power diverter allows for the full utilization of the renewable energy produced by the solar panels, making it an excellent choice for anyone committed to sustainable living and reducing their carbon footprint.
Here’s what our customer had to say:
"We've just been looking at our pellet usage comparing pre-Eddi and post-Eddi. It shows a 30% reduction in pellets this year compared to the average for the previous 7 years. That's 126 fewer 10kg bags. This summer (May to Sept) we used just 17 bags. Last summer we used 84 bags. That's 67 10kg bags less with Eddi over those 5 months. At £4.65 a 10kg bag that's £310 saved this summer and £590 over the year! Eddi will pay for itself in 3 years."
It’s truly remarkable to see the significant impact the power diverter has had on our customer's pellet consumption. A 30% reduction in pellet usage not only results in substantial cost savings but also demonstrates a more sustainable, eco-friendly approach to heating.
