Residential Solar Panels Case Study: Solar PV System in Dunstable
Introduction
This case study delves into a residential solar panel installation of a 7.83 kW solar PV system in Harlington, Dunstable, designed & professionally installed by MCS Certified NXTGEN Energy Ltd. We’ll explore the technical details, financial projections, and environmental impact.
Solar Project Details
Installer: NXTGEN Energy Ltd.
Solution
Here’s a breakdown of the key components:
- Powerhouse Panels: 18 TrinaSolar Vertex S+ 435W Dual Glass N-Type panels boast superior light capture and high reliability, even in harsh conditions. Their white backsheet enhances aesthetics and improves temperature management.
- Inverter Brains: The Growatt SPH 6kW Dual MPPT Hybrid Inverter efficiently converts DC electricity from the solar panels to usable AC power for your home appliances. Its dual MPPT technology maximizes solar energy harvest by tracking the performance of individual solar panels, even under uneven sunlight conditions.
- Battery Backup: The Growatt GBLI 6.5kWh LFP Solar Battery empowers energy independence. Excess solar energy is effectively stored, allowing you to tap into clean power even when the sun sets or hides behind clouds, which happens a lot in the UK.
- Solid Foundations: The Fastensol pitched roof solar panel mounting system, specifically designed for concrete tiles, secures the solar panels firmly and reliably, weathering the elements easily.
Results
- Sun-kissed Savings: This Solar PV Array has an estimated annual energy generation of 6,766 kWh translates to potential savings of about ÂŁ3,045 in the first year alone. Over the solar PV system’s expected lifespan of 25 years, the financial gains can be substantial.
- Payback Period: The initial investment of £9,831.58 is projected to be recouped within 3 years through reduced electricity bills. This timeframe makes the solar PV system an attractive investment, especially considering the rising cost of National Grid-supplied electricity.
- Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) Scheme: This UK government initiative rewards homeowners who export excess solar energy back to the National Grid. With an estimated 2,656 kWh of excess solar energy exported annually, you could earn additional income while contributing to a cleaner energy future in the UK.
Impact
- Carbon Footprint Reduction: By displacing National Grid-sourced electricity, this solar PV system is estimated to save about 1,437 kg of CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions annually. This translates to the environmental equivalent of planting 66 new trees or taking a car off the road for about 5,131 miles.
- Clean Energy Champion: By generating your own clean power, you’ll be actively contributing to the fight against climate change and promoting a more sustainable future for the UK.
Challenges
- Shading Analysis: The property has a potential shading factor (SF) of 1.00, indicating a minimal shading impact on the solar PV system’s output. However, NXTGEN Energy did a thorough on-site assessment to confirm this and identify any potential obstacles with the solar PV system installation.
- Roof Suitability: NXTGEN Energy also ensured the roof structure could safely support the weight and wind load of the solar PV system. A site survey determined its suitability and any necessary reinforcements.
- Upfront Investment: While the long-term financial benefits are promising, the initial cost is a significant factor. Exploring financing options and government incentives like the Green Deal Loan can make the investment more manageable.
Conclusion
The proposed solar PV system for Dunstable presents a compelling case for harnessing the power of sunshine through installing a solar PV system. With its potential for significant financial savings, reduced environmental impact, and increased energy independence, it’s a worthwhile investment for the eco-conscious homeowner. Careful consideration of technical specifications, financial projections, and potential challenges helps ensure a successful solar journey.

Our Solar Services
Solar Panels
Solar Panels or Solar PV (Photovoltaics), capture the sun’s solar energy and converts it into energy for your home. At NXTGEN Energy we primarily use high-end panels from Hyundai, JA Solar or Trinasolar, depending on which is the most appropriate for your solar energy system setup. Solar Panels are most efficient when used in conjunction with solar battery storage. We are MCS Certified Solar PV Installers. Have you checked your installer on https://mcscertified.com?
Solar Battery Storage
Using solar batteries to store the electricity you’ve generated will help you to maximize the amount of renewable energy you use. At times when you’re generating more energy than you’re using, the excess can be stored so you don’t lose it. Excess energy can potentially be sold back to the grid or kept for times when you need more energy than you are generating. We are MCS Certified Battery Storage Installers. Have you checked your installer on https://mcscertified.com?
Electric Vehicle Chargers
By providing another way for you to reduce your carbon footprint, Electric Vehicles (EVs) are more popular than ever. EVs are an eco-friendlier alternative to traditional gas guzzlers and with the price of petrol and diesel rising at a unprecedented rate they’re more economical too. Installing a home charger for your EV ensures you can charge your car whenever it’s idle at home, no more hanging around a petrol station at a public EV charging point.

You can save more money when you use a Solar Battery with your Solar Panels System
Our Solar PV Packages provide you with a complete solar energy solution for producing and storing your own clean and renewable energy. With Solar Panels and Solar Batteries, you can capture sunlight and convert it into electricity, and then save the excess electricity in a battery for later use. This way, you can use more of your own green energy and less of the National Grid electricity, which can help you reduce your carbon footprint and more importantly reduce your electricity bills.
Solar Panels are devices that capture the sunlight and convert it into electricity. They are made of photovoltaic (PV) cells, which are materials that can create electric current from light. Solar Panels can be installed on your roof or on the ground, depending on the space and orientation available. Solar Panels can reduce your carbon footprint and your electricity bills by producing your own renewable energy.
