The Brief – Maximising Solar Potential in the Welsh Countryside
Mr Perkins and his family live in the beautiful rural area of Ceredigion, Wales. Their journey toward solar energy began with a simple yet profound goal: to shrink their environmental footprint and cut down on their electricity bills. With an electric car and a Zappi 2 charging point already installed in their garage, Mr Perkins and his family were the ideal candidates for a solar energy system.
Initially, Mr Perkins considered installing solar panels on his garage’s south-facing roof, which gets plenty of sunlight. The ample land surrounding the property also meant they were even better positioned for a solar upgrade.
Mr Perkins approached us with his interests of reducing his environmental impact and lowering his electricity bills.
After an initial site survey, we proposed an innovative, tailored solution that combined both rooftop and ground-mounted solar panels to maximise energy capture.
Our Solution – A Bespoke Hybrid Solar System
High-Efficiency Panels
We recommended 435W high-efficiency panels with power optimisers to maximise energy output.
Hybrid Installation – Roof and Ground
- Roof-Mounted Panels: Installed on the south-facing garage roof to capture maximum sunlight.
- Ground-Mounted Panels: Positioned on the surrounding land with an innovative mounting system to capture sunlight from multiple angles.
Battery Storage
A 5.8kWh battery storage system stores excess solar energy for evening and night use, reducing reliance on grid power.
This tailored approach allowed us to deliver optimal energy production, helping Mr. Perkins and his family achieve their goals of environmental sustainability and cost savings.
The Benefits – Cleaner, Greener, Smarter Energy
- Environmental Impact: Significant reduction in the family’s carbon footprint.
- Cost Savings: Lower electricity bills and the ability to charge their EV with solar energy.
- Energy Independence: Reliable power even during grid outages.
- Optimised Efficiency: High-efficiency panels and power optimisers ensure maximum system performance.
Customer Feedback – An “Over the Moon” Client
“One reason for choosing Solar Save Renewable for my Solar Panel installation was partly because they were quite local and also they had completed an installation for a local business that I knew. From the outset their communications were excellent. Replying promptly to my emails and queries. I was probably a bit of a nightmare client as I was quite indecisive as to my needs but after several quotes (which were very comprehensive and helpful in terms of the kWh output and savings etc) we agreed upon a system. Petar is obviously very knowledgeable on the subject and his commitment to getting the job done correctly and to the highest standard is clear to see. Despite the system being a hybrid of roof mounted and ground mounted panels with one cable runs, Petar and his team were able to get the job done in good time and provided me with excellent after care support once the job was completed. Suffice to say I’m over the moon with the system and the installation. I’m only four months into my solar life but the savings so far have far exceeded what I expected and that’s over the winter months so I can’t wait for the spring and summer to see my savings go through the roof!! Thank you Petar and Diana, an excellent solar/battery install and a very happy client”. — L. Perkins, Ceredigion
