Introduction
Solar Project Details
Solar Solution
NXTGEN Energy Solar Energy Specialist Bobby proposed a 14.355 kWp solar PV system tailored to the specific needs and roof characteristics of this customers home.
Here’s a breakdown of the key components:
- Solar Panels:Â 33 Jinko Tiger Neo 435W N-Type All Black Mono solar panels, known for their high efficiency and sleek design.
- Solar Inverter:Â Fox G10 10.0kW Single Phase Solar Inverter (3 MPPT), capable of handling the power output and maximizing energy production from the solar panels.
- Battery Storage:Â GivEnergy All in One AC Coupled System with Gateway inverter, integrating seamlessly with the system and allowing for self-consumption of generated electricity.
- Mounting System:Â Fastensol pitched roof mounting system, specifically designed for slate roofs and ensuring secure panel installation.
- Additional Equipment: Bi-directional meter, cables, connectors, isolators, and other components for safe and efficient system operation.
Solar Results
- Energy Generation: About 10,600 kWh annually, potentially covering a significant portion of the client’s electricity needs each year.
- CO2 Reduction: About 2,250 kg annually, equivalent to offsetting the carbon emissions of driving about 8,000 miles in an average petrol car.
- Financial Savings: About ÂŁ3,200 in the first year, with a payback period of approximately 9 years. Potential for additional income through Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) Scheme payments.
- Environmental Impact: Reduced reliance on fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal and contribution to a cleaner energy future in the UK.
Solar Impact
- Reduced electricity bills: Lower energy costs and increased financial independence from high energy bills in the UK.
- Increased energy security: Reduced reliance on the Grid and potential for energy independence with battery storage expansion.
- Positive environmental contribution:Â Active participation in the transition to renewable energy and combating climate change.
Key Features
- South-facing roof: Ideal roof orientation for maximizing sunlight exposure and energy generation as the UK is in the northern hemisphere, and therefore south-facing roofs get the most sun.
- Minimal shading: Ensures optimal solar panel performance and minimizes energy loss.
- MCS accredited system: Meets MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) industry standards and qualifies for the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) Scheme payments.
- Battery storage: Allows for storing excess solar energy for later use, increasing self-consumption and reducing grid dependence.
