Customer Background
The property is a substantial family home featuring several roof sections with different roof coverings and elevations. The homeowner was looking for a renewable energy solution that would reduce household energy costs while making full use of the property’s available roof space.
Apollogrid carried out a detailed assessment of the roof structures, loft access, electrical infrastructure, and installation requirements to ensure the proposed system would deliver maximum performance and long-term reliability.
Challenges Faced
Several design considerations were identified during the survey process:
- Multiple roof elevations requiring separate panel layouts.
- Different roof coverings, including flat tile, concrete tile, and pan tile sections.
- Complex cable routing between three roof areas and the proposed system location.
- Integration of battery storage alongside the inverter system.
- Requirement to maximise generation across all available roof surfaces.
The survey confirmed that the property had no significant shading concerns, allowing the system to achieve strong solar generation potential throughout the year.
ApolloGrid Solution
ApolloGrid designed a customised solar PV and battery storage solution tailored specifically to the property’s layout and energy requirements.
The solution included:
- Strategic solar panel placement across three separate roof sections.
- Hybrid inverter technology to optimise energy generation and self-consumption.
- Battery storage integration to store excess solar energy for use during evenings and periods of lower generation.
- External wall-mounted inverter and battery installation for accessibility and ventilation.
- Smart monitoring functionality enabling real-time system performance tracking.
- Carefully planned AC and DC cable routes to ensure a clean and professional installation.
