Introduction
The JM Renewables team recently completed the installation of a solar and battery storage system for a modern property in Ruthin, Denbighshire, North Wales. The homeowner’s primary objectives were to enhance the property’s environmental friendliness and reduce utility bills. To meet these goals, we implemented a comprehensive solar energy solution that would optimise energy usage and efficiency.
Methodology
The project began with a thorough initial survey to assess the roof’s suitability for solar panel installation. This assessment was crucial in determining the best approach to maximising energy capture and ensuring the system’s long-term performance. Based on the surveys results, we designed a bespoke system tailored to the homeowner’s specific needs, focusing on both energy production and storage.
Installation
We installed fourteen 375w solar panels on the pitched roof, strategically positioned to capture maximum sunlight throughout the day. These panels were connected to a Solis 3.6kW hybrid inverter. This inverter was chosen for its excellent charge and discharge efficiency, which ensures optimal performance and energy savings. The Solis inverter also provides 24-hour real-time intelligent energy management information, a feature that particularly impressed the customer. This functionality allows the system to save power during peak demands, thereby reducing reliance on the grid and lowering electricity bills.
To complement the solar panels, we integrated a Pylontech Force L2 battery storage system. This system included four 3.55kWh modules, delivering a total capacity of 14.2kWh. One of the key advantages of the Pylontech system is its scalability; additional battery modules can be added in the future to increase storage capacity as needed. This flexibility ensures that the system can adapt to the homeowner’s changing energy requirements over time.
Outcome
The installation was completed successfully within the predicted timeframe. The customer was delighted with the system’s performance, commenting on significant improvements in balancing the household’s energy needs. The 24-hour real-time energy management provided by the Solis inverter has proven to be particularly valuable, enabling the homeowner to monitor and adjust energy usage effectively.
The homeowner praised our team for their professionalism, friendliness, and the high quality of the installation work. The success of this project not only highlights the benefits of solar and battery storage systems in reducing energy bills and environmental impact but also demonstrates our commitment to delivering exceptional service and renewable energy solutions for our customers.
