Imagine being able to power your home with clean energy, save money on your electricity bills, and reduce your impact on the environment. With solar panels, battery storage, and electric vehicle charging systems, you can make all of these dreams a reality. We’ll take you through the benefits, considerations, and installation options available for domestic installations, so you can start making your home a greener, more sustainable space.
Solar PV
There are several types of solar PV installations to choose from, each with its own unique benefits and considerations. For small homes or sheds, a roof-mounted solar array is often the most suitable option. These systems can be mounted directly to the roof, providing a sleek and modern aesthetic while maximizing energy production. In-roof installations, also known as “built-in” or “integrally mounted” systems, offer a more seamless look and can be particularly well-suited for homes with traditional pitched roofs. This type of installation involves mounting the solar panels within the roof structure, creating a solid and durable system that’s less prone to damage from weathering or wear and tear. Alternatively, ground-mounted solar panels offer more flexibility in terms of space allocation and can be a good choice for homes with limited roof space.
Battery Storage
Battery storage is a convenient complement to solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, allowing homeowners to store excess energy generated by their panels during the day for use at night or on cloudy days. Lithium-ion batteries are becoming increasingly popular due to their high energy density, long lifespan, and low maintenance requirements. Battery sizes range from small, home-based solutions that can power a few appliances, to larger installations that can meet the needs of entire households. When combined with time-of-use (TOU) tariffs, which charge lower rates for electricity used during off-peak hours, battery storage can significantly increase savings. For example, if you have a battery storage system installed at your home, you can charge it overnight when cheaper rates are in effect and store energy for use during the day when rates are higher. This allows you to make the most of cheap electricity and reduce your overall energy costs. Some lithium-ion battery systems also come with advanced features such as backup power during outages, remote monitoring, and integration with other smart home devices.
EV Charging
