The Brief:
Project Objectives:
Design and install a solar PV system that uses sunlight to make renewable energy and reduce the homeowner's need for electricity.
The project involved the installation of a 5.46kWp solar PV system composed of 14 x 390Watt solar panels, a 5.0kW SolaX Hybrid Inverter, and a Solax Battery with a capacity of 12.0kWh. The system was installed on a slate roof, offering both energy savings and environmental benefits to the homeowner.
The Solution:
SolaX Hybrid Inverter and a Solax Battery were integrated to enable the homeowner to store excess solar energy for use during periods of low solar production or during peak demand hours.
The implementation of the solar PV system followed a systematic process:
Site Survey and Design: A thorough site survey was conducted to assess the solar potential of the location, considering factors like roof orientation, shading, and available space. Based on the findings, a design was developed, optimising the placement of 14 x 390Watt solar panels on the slate roof.
Component Selection: High-quality components were selected for the system, including the 5.0kW SolaX Hybrid Inverter and a 12.0kWh Solax Battery. These components were chosen for their reliability, efficiency, and compatibility with the homeowner's energy consumption patterns.
Solar Panels Installation: The solar panels were carefully installed on the slate roof using specialised mounting equipment that ensures secure attachment without compromising the roof integrity.
The installation of the 5.46kWp solar PV system, along with the 5.0kW SolaX Hybrid Inverter and 12.0kWh Solax Battery, has resulted in significant benefits for the homeowner:
Renewable Energy Generation: The solar PV system efficiently converts sunlight into electricity, allowing the homeowner to generate a substantial portion of their energy needs from renewable sources.
Energy Independence: The integration of the Solax Battery enables the homeowner to store excess solar energy for use during nighttime or periods of low solar production, reducing reliance on the grid.
Cost Savings: By generating their own electricity and potentially selling excess energy back to the grid, the homeowner can experience reduced energy bills and potentially earn credits.
Environmental Impact: The use of renewable energy reduces the carbon footprint of the household, contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendlier lifestyle.
