Following a comprehensive site survey and technical assessment, Apollogrid developed a tailored solution designed to maximise solar generation while integrating battery storage and smart monitoring capabilities.
Customer Background
The property is a modern family home with a large, uninterrupted roof area ideally suited for solar generation. The homeowner wanted to take advantage of renewable energy technology to offset rising energy costs while reducing reliance on the national grid.
Apollogrid carried out a full assessment of the roof structure, electrical infrastructure, and installation requirements to ensure the proposed system would deliver maximum efficiency and long-term reliability.
Challenges Faced
Several design considerations were identified during the survey process:
- Integrating renewable energy technology into an occupied family home.
- Limited spare capacity within the existing consumer unit.
- Requirement for efficient cable routing between the roof-mounted solar array and electrical equipment.
- Positioning the inverter and battery system in a location with adequate ventilation and accessibility.
- Designing a future-ready system capable of supporting increasing household energy demands.
ApolloGrid Solution
Apollogrid designed a customised solar PV and battery storage system tailored specifically to the property’s requirements.
The solution included:
- Roof-mounted solar PV array designed to maximise available roof space.
- Hybrid inverter technology for efficient energy management.
- Battery storage integration to store excess solar energy for use during evenings and periods of low generation.
- External wall-mounted inverter and battery installation.
- Smart monitoring functionality enables homeowners to track system performance in real time.
- Carefully planned AC and DC cable routing through the loft and external wall locations to maintain a clean installation.
