This system consists of 16 roof mounted 400W REC Pure Alpha panels and 6 wall mounted 400W Sunpower high efficiency panels for a total of 8.8kW of generation. There are also 2 inverters and 5 5.8kWh batteries to maximise the off-grid power available all year round and minimise dependency on the grid.
This small system was installed to help the customer meet the new build EPC values, but it was also designed to allow fitting more generation in future.
1kW was fitted on this slate garage roof initially, with capacity for 4.5kW total, and a Zappi car charger was fitted to use the extra solar to charge the customers Tesla EV.
Even though this is the smallest system we’ve fitted to date, it’s still having an impact on the overall consumption of the property, and the environment.
