GB Solar Case Study
Mr Hatcher, Nottingham
Project Summary
GB Solar were pleased to have recently worked with a client in Nottingham when installing a PV & Storage system. Our client, a homeowner with an annual electricity consumption of 20,000 kWh, faced the common challenge of high energy bills and a desire to reduce their environmental impact. They sought a robust and efficient renewable energy solution that could significantly offset their reliance on grid electricity.
GB Solar designed and installed a comprehensive solar energy system tailored to the client's specific needs. The installation comprised 17 high-performance Aiko panels, forming a 7.7kWp system, with a Tesla Powerwall 3. This advanced battery system allows the homeowner to store excess solar energy generated during the day for use during peak demand hours or at night, maximizing self-consumption. This system is projected to generate an impressive 5,978 kWh annually, contributing substantially to the home's energy needs. The system is estimated to offset 30% of the household's high annual energy usage (20,000 kWh), significantly reducing their dependence on the grid. With the Tesla Powerwall 3, the home achieves an remarkable 95% self-consumption rate, meaning nearly all the energy generated is used directly by the household; with the remainder of the generated energy exported back to the grid. In the first year alone, the homeowners are projected to save an estimated £4,054 on their electricity bills, which translates to an impressive 54% reduction in their annual electricity bill, providing significant long-term financial benefits.

Customer Review
"Great service from GB Solar, from initial discussions of what could be achieved. It was extremely helpful as a newbie to all things solar and renewables, the GB Solar team walked me through planning, installation and post care. The Installation was done effectively from scaffolding to connections, and a walk through of the system to ensure we were fully aware of what we had. Overall the experience was great - we would recommend GB Solar to anyone looking to get solar panels and batteries. Next plan to work on Heat Pumps which they also cover."
