The Brief:
We were approached by a client who is dedicated to sustainable living and wanted us to design a solar energy solution that could store excess energy and efficiently charge their electric vehicles (EVs). They wanted to reduce their carbon footprint and were looking for an innovative, eco-friendly solution. The client's requirements were to design a solar energy solution with battery storage, store excess solar energy, seamlessly integrate the existing EV charger, and ensure that the solution is both sustainable and affordable. We were excited to take on this unique challenge and work towards providing a solution that met all of the client's needs.
The Solution:
Proposed Solution:
After a detailed analysis of the client's energy consumption patterns, location, and EV charging needs, we devised a comprehensive solution that combines solar panels, battery storage, and the client's pre-existing zappi EV charger.
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System:
We designed and installed a 4.74 kWp solar PV system on the client's property. This solar array is strategically positioned to maximize sunlight exposure and energy generation. The solar panels are of high-quality and efficiency, guaranteeing optimal energy conversion.
Battery Storage System:
To address the challenge of energy intermittency, we integrated a 17 kWh battery storage system. This solution enables the client to store excess solar energy generated during the day and utilize it during periods of low sunlight or high energy demand.
Integratiing the Existing zappi EV Charger:
By seamlessly integrating the existing EV charger with the newly installed solar PV and battery storage system, we created a holistic solution for sustainable EV charging. The client can now charge their electric vehicles using the stored solar energy, effectively eliminating charging costs and reducing strain on the grid.
By combining solar panels, battery storage, and an existing EV charger, we provided the client with an energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective solution that aligns with their values and aspirations.
