Visit a modern home in Barrow-in-Furness with a roof-mounted solar array and battery system that has substantially reduced external energy demand.
The homeowners have installed a 4.2kW (nominal) solar PV system, with Solar Edge optimiser/controller, modbus meter and SolarX battery system.
Roof-mounted solar panels are split between the front and rear of the property, facing ENE and WSW, showing that a solar roof array doesn’t necessarily have to be south-facing to give good performance.
The power system is all installed in the garage, so is easily viewable. There will be an opportunity to see the system's live performance, and the owners will also share historical data recorded through the SolarEdge software.
The homeowners have also made other minor energy-saving improvements, including LED lighting, and using a low-power storage boiler instead of a kettle.
