This high-capacity installation in Taverham represents the pinnacle of modern residential energy storage. By combining world-leading solar cell efficiency with a unique multi-inverter power architecture, this home is now equipped for total energy independence.
System Specifications
Solar Array: AIKO Neostar 3S (470W)
We installed 19x AIKO Neostar 3S All-Black panels, delivering a total peak power of 8.93kWp.
- Next-Gen Efficiency: Utilizing All-Back Contact (ABC) technology, these panels achieve up to 23.5% efficiency—the highest rating currently available for residential solar in the UK.
- Premium Design: The “all-black” aesthetic provides a seamless, high-end finish that looks exceptional on residential rooflines.
Power Management: Fox ESS KH 8kW Inverter
To manage the high electrical demands of the property, we implemented the flagship Fox ESS KH 8kW Hybrid Inverter.
- High-Throughput Performance: This single, high-capacity unit manages both the 8.93kWp solar array and the battery storage simultaneously. It is designed to handle heavy household loads without needing to draw from the grid.
- Rapid Charging: With a market-leading charge/discharge current, this inverter allows the battery bank to be replenished at maximum speed during short off-peak “Smart Tariff” windows.
Energy Storage: 20.7kWh Fox ESS EP11-H Batteries
The system is paired with two Fox ESS EP11-H 10.36kWh units, providing a massive 20.72kWh of usable storage.
- Advanced Thermal Management: The EP11-H features integrated self-heating, ensuring the lithium-ion cells maintain peak performance even in the coldest Norfolk winters.
- Slimline Profile: Despite its large capacity, the wall-mounted design is ultra-slim (only 147mm deep), ensuring a tidy, space-saving installation.
The Result
By pairing high-efficiency AIKO panels with a massive Fox ESS storage stack, the Pugh household is now shielded from rising energy costs. The system is fully optimized for “Time of Use” smart tariffs, allowing the home to run almost entirely on self-generated or low-cost stored energy year-round.
- Total Battery Capacity: 20.72kWh
- Total Solar Power: 8.93kWp (DC)
- Inverter Model: Fox ESS KH8 Hybrid
