Customer Background
The property is a modern family home featuring multiple roof elevations and an attached garage. The homeowner wanted to make better use of available roof space to generate clean energy while reducing reliance on grid electricity.
ApolloGrid carried out a detailed assessment of the roof structure, electrical infrastructure, and available installation locations to ensure the proposed system would deliver reliable long-term performance and maximum value.
Challenges Faced
Several design considerations were identified during the survey process:
- Multiple roof elevations requiring careful solar panel placement.
- Integration of battery storage alongside the inverter system.
- Routing AC and DC cabling between the solar array and garage installation location.
- Limited spare capacity within the existing consumer unit.
- Requirement to maximise generation while maintaining a clean and professional appearance.
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 positioning across available roof areas.
- Hybrid inverter technology to optimise energy generation and consumption.
- Battery storage integration to store excess solar energy for use during evenings and periods of lower generation.
- Garage-mounted inverter and battery installation for accessibility and protection.
- Smart monitoring functionality enabling real-time performance tracking.
- Carefully planned cable routes to minimise visual impact and maintain installation quality.
