GB Solar Case Study
Mr Jones, Worksop
Project Summary
Whilst undertaking a sleek and stylish house renovation, our client opted for an in-roof system to compliment the home's modern exterior. In-roof array's are an ideal option for both roof refurbishment projects or new build properties.
In-roof solar panels (or integrated solar panels) are designed to sit flush with your roof; replacing the tile by mounting the panel onto specialist trays fitted to the original roof structure. They are lightweight, robust, and due to their integrated design, are extremely aesthetically pleasing.
We liaised closely with our client and his building contractors to ensure that we were available onsite to install at the same point of the planned roofing works taking place.
Mr Jones challenged us to maximise his solar capacity, factoring in some complex roof dimensions. The subsequent panel layout presented some challenging technical aspects that required us to install a SolarEdge optimised inverter solution, meaning that each panel will always produce power to an optimum level, regardless of pitch, orientation or string arrangement. We then coupled this with a GivEnergy AC Coupled battery system with 9.5kWh of capacity to allow him the best of both generation and storage capacity.
We recommended at 5.4kW system to Mr Jones, which would see him generate approximately 76% of his energy from Solar PV alone. A 9.5kWh GivEnergy battery system would allow him to store his excess power which would be used to power his home into the evening and into the night.
We also installed a myenergi Zappi smart car charger. This will automatically charge the vehicle with excess power produced from the system when the house demand is being met and the battery is full.
